I am glad this helped!

Thanks for reporting this!  There is really no reason why Emacs
should record the changes of the buffer *BBDB* because this buffer
is not directly editable like other buffers.  Usually, this is
not a problem anyway when the BBDB database is small.  But your
fairly big database makes Emacs choke.  So bbdb-mode should bind
buffer-undo-list to t.

I'll do that.

(I am surprised that nobody reported this problem previously.)
