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.
