> To reproduce, open emacs -nw -Q, then type a very long line, for example
> typing around 100 random characters, then C-a C-k to kill the string
> then maintain C-y to past many times to get a line taking 4 or 5 display
> lines. This is your long line. Then hit C-j.
>
> Repeat operation ten times or more to have many such long lines.
>
> Monitor line number in mode-line while operating. At a point, it will
> print L??
>
> M-: (line-number-at-pos (point)) will return correct value so it is
> likely to be a display problem.
>
> Tested on Linux with emacs 23 cvs -nw in gnome-terminal.
>
> Can't reproduce in X version.

> This is not a bug.  From the Emacs manual:
>
>      Line-number computation can also be slow if the lines in the buffer
>   are too long.  For this reason, Emacs doesn't display line numbers if
>   the average width, in characters, of lines near point is larger than
>   the value of `line-number-display-limit-width'.  The default value is
>   200 characters.
