(Get the code!)
Perhaps relevant information
When opening the VMware Workstation install shell script in KWrite (you can also test, it is a free download with (also free) registration), KWrite works fine at first.
This file is several hundred MiB, with a small shell code portion at the beginning followed by raw data.
Scroll down, and once you get to the raw binary part, KWrite locks up, and quickly begins to swallow multiple GiB of memory. It completely bogged down the system, and I had to use kill(8) to stop it.
