It aborted because get_display_line was upset that its second argument was
smaller than the width of the line referenced by its first argument (abort()
is one of the foundations on which all GNU programs are built; they call it
whenever they get confused).
I was editing a 3 megabyte file and a couple smaller ones at the time. Data
limit was the default; the process size was about 600K short of the 6 meg
limit when it dumped core.
