Re: why does M-w (kill-ring-save) hurt so bad?

Easily dismissed as a "don't do that". Except that GNU Emacs has no
trouble with it. (Though from this, I can surmise that my font-lock
setup may be incorrect/less than ideal ;-)
Yep, confirmed, and that's where lazy-shot comes in handy. It doesn't
help font-lock-fontify-buffer but one doesn't really care about the
whole buffer being fontified as long as the visible area is, right?
(Dunno but I guess GNU Emacs does this too)
Surely you already know it but this produces acceptable results:
xemacs -vanilla
M-x customize-variable RET lazy-shot-mode RET
[toggle it to t, click set]
C-x C-f /tmp/vmlinux.S RET
