there have been some changes that allowed "$" to be used as a placeholder
for the highest buffer number or tab number or whatever, depending on the
command following the range. In the course of this changes Vim has become
more strict in regard to numbers used in the range.

You might want to try "$" instead of an arbitrary high number if you want
to include the last buffer in a range, thus

nmap <silent> <leader>wa :1,$bd<cr>

should be the preferred way to wipe out all buffers.

Jürgen
