More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
years, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.

Is this issue still present in Emacs 23/24?

Did you manage to debug further?  Could you send me a copy of the files?

This was reported before (bug 837 and friends), and also could not be
reproduced that time.

I have a copy of the files. The sizes are in bytes, there are 21 diffs. 
At first I couldn't reproduce the problem (I was using ediff-buffers), 
but then I tried just ediff and saw the problem the first time I tried 
it. But when I tried again running under the lisp debugger, I could not 
reprod it suce the problem, and I have not managed to reproduce it 
since. There must have been some preconditions that the session in which 
I reproduced the problem met, but subsequent sessions do not.

One unusual thing about the files is that the first lines specify 
compilation-mode and default directory. At first I could not run diff 
because the specified directory does not exist on my system, but after 
changing the default directory to a directory that exists (I tried the 
directory that the files are in and other directories) ediff works 
except in that one case.

If you're just concerned about the size of the files (rather than
privacy), you can send them to 2706-quiet <at> debbugs.gnu.org.

They won't be sent out to the bug list, but we can download them from
the bug web-page.

What units are these file sizes in? Is it possible that the size of
the resulting diff is simply too large for Emacs?

And if you execute

diff u:/aemf/register-anbindung/templates-keine-funktionale-aenderung.txt
  u:/aemf/register-anbindung/templates-lese-fehler.txt

outside of Emacs, how big is the result?
