Summary: Win3.1 Notepad crashes when opening a large file
Product: Wine
Version: 1.2.2

OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown

DOSBox (left) and Wine (right)
This bug applies to the version of Notepad bundled with Windows 3.1.
Old versions of Notepad can't open big text files. Instead, Notepad displays a
message saying "The file FILENAME is too large for Notepad. Use another editor
to edit the file." Wine crashes instead of displaying this message.
A giant file can be created in numerous ways. I used a small python script:
for i in range(1999999):
print i
"python script.py > giant.txt" gives a giant file.
I tried opening the file using Wine running Notepad and using DOSBox running
Windows 3.1 running Notepad. Windows 3.1 is just a normal DOS application, so
it runs fine under DOSBox. I'm attaching a PNG file displaying the differences
between Wine and DOSBox. In this case, DOSBox is correct while Wine is wrong.
