>Here's a wiki page (a fragment of my user manual) with exactly 40,000 characters:
https://sourceforge.net/p/waveshop/wiki/test_40000/
The HTML is correctly parsed: it has proper formatting, the links work, etc.
Here's the same page, but with one more character:
https://sourceforge.net/p/waveshop/wiki/test_40001/
Note that none of the HTML is parsed, presumably due to exceeding a hard-coded buffer size somewhere in the markdown parser.
This is new behavior, as of May 2013. I know this because my user manual was always bigger than 40KB, but the HTML didn't stop working until this month, maybe even as recently as this week.

>Opinion: This is a very silly and avoidable bug. In the age of 64-bit addressing and string containers, it's hard to see why any aspect of the markdown parser should be limited to 40KB or any other particular number.

>While we're fixing this, any chance of doing something about the lame handling of definition lists in markdown? (issue #57, from February)

Looks like this is due to the behavior added in [#5607]. Cory said he has some ideas or alternative implementation though.
