Just to test this out, I created a 4.7G file of just '\n' and I see exactly the behavior described. I then tried a simple change (attached, based on 7.4.728) to have Vim use LONG_MAX for MAXLNUM rather than the hard-coded value. Now Vim didn't stop loading the file partway through, but it did get killed by the OOM killer after taking up 14G of RAM.
