A buffer's size cannot be larger than some maximum, which is defined
by the largest buffer position representable by the @dfn{Emacs integer}
data type. This is because Emacs tracks buffer positions using that
data type. For 32-bit machines, the largest buffer size is 128
data type. For 32-bit machines, the largest buffer size is 256
megabytes.

Normally, the buffer @samp{*Buffer List*} is not updated automatically when
buffers are created and killed; its contents are just text. If you have
created, deleted or renamed buffers, the way to update @samp{*Buffer

The @samp{*Buffer List*} buffer does automatically update every
@code{auto-revert-interval} seconds if you enable Auto Revert mode in
it. (As long as it is not marked modified.) Global Auto Revert mode
does not update the @samp{*Buffer List*} buffer by default, but it
does if @code{global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers} is non-@code{nil}.

The command @code{buffer-menu-other-window} works the same as
@code{buffer-menu}, except that it displays the buffers list in
another window.
