bug#10461: emacs is not a macro-editor

[andre . desnoyers]

I think this effect exists on Mac OS with Intel proc. In the past  
version on Fedora Scientific Linux) my macro work on the very big  
files (> 40Mo). It is possible there are conflict with my sartup. I  
see the cursor points in bad line, then it will be a bad section àf  
file which show in window (why?).

So, i prepare a test with your guide line.
   Thank Andrew
