Reproducible issue reading large registry file

Steps to reproduce issue:

System: Windows 7 64 bit

Gvim: VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10,
compiled Jan 2 2016 14:36:11)
MS-Windows 32-bit GUI version with OLE support
Included patches: 1-1023
Compiled by mool@tororo
Big version with GUI.

1) Export entire registry to file (in my case, about 500 MBytes)

2) gvim.exe -u NONE -U NONE --noplugin all_reg.reg

3) takes some time and then get message just before file shows up

4) Observe message before file shows up: "all_reg.reg" [Incomplete last
line][unix format] 3912091 lines, 523120802 characters
Press ENTER or type command to continue

5) Hit enter

6) Observe contents of buffer:

ÿ[with two dots on the top of it]þ[funny looking p]W^@i^@n^@d^@o^@w^@s

[more such triples: @<readable letter>^]

7) Open all_reg.reg in notepad++: no issues, file opens very quickly,
text is clearly seen.

Please look into this.

Thanks,

--Suresh
