x-selection-strict-motif-ownership was already t.
I set interprogram-cut-function and interprogram-paste-function to nil and
it still acted the same.
BTW, the exact character count where the problem occurs is 262,041. With
262,040 characters in the selection, it works, with 262,041 it fails.
As noted by Vin Shelton:
I believe this is the known problem with zmacs-regions. See
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200112/msg00367.html
- vin
performing (setq zmacs-regions nil) works around whatever is causing the
problem in my case. Ray will have to try it to see if it avoids his crash
as well.

Jim

Thanks!
Sure looks like something is weird in the selection handling code.
You (ie, anybody interested in debugging this, not necessarily Jim)
could try (1) defeating Motif selection behavior by setq'ing
x-selection-strict-motif-ownership to t (this is the default, though,
so it very likely already is), and (2) setq'ing
interprogram-cut-function and interprogram-paste-function to nil.
This is what I'm looking at, although I don't see why they would cause
a problem unless there's a Sun bug and/or limitation we're ignoring:
[7] x_reply_selection_request(0x3ff98, 0x1, 0x32e190,
0x23ab20, 0x32e000,
0x0), at 0x23a688
[8] x_handle_selection_request(0x67cad0, 0x225b80,
0x225b80, 0x366804,
0x32e144, 0x67cba4), at 0x23a9d4

Very important!
