Note that this value changes between different versions of Emacs.
In Emacs versions before 19.34, the value was typically 8388607, whereas in
versions until 21.4, it's typically 134217728 (and in Emacs-CVS it's as
shown above). But even that changes on 64bit systems (e.g. on my amd64
system, it says 2305843009213693951).
The values are yet different for XEmacs.
Stefan
