That also explains why the problem only appeared well into a run (30-60
min), and why it was unreproducible "in the small" (i.e. a testibly-bad
but sendably-short input). Even our relatively small (~100 MB) base files
unzip'ed OK throughout.
Hoping this helps emacs, too ... can't see how, other than it's also hot
for RAM, but one can hope :-)
