    Regardless of the values of those variables, the most recent change
  is never discarded unless it gets bigger than @code{undo-outer-limit}
! (normally 300,000).  At that point, Emacs asks whether to discard the
! undo information even for the current command.  (You also have the
! option of quitting.)  So there is normally no danger that garbage
! collection occurring right after an unintentional large change might
! prevent you from undoing it.  But if you didn't expect the command
! to create such large undo data, you can get rid of it and prevent
! Emacs from running out of memory.
  
    The reason the @code{undo} command has two keys, @kbd{C-x u} and
  @kbd{C-_}, set up to run it is that it is worthy of a single-character

! @code{undo-outer-limit} to make it even less likely to happen in the
! future.  But if you didn't expect the command to create such large
! undo data, then it is probably a bug and you should report it.
