In case anybody else is using this, I found that for large
files the recursion is enough that emacs stops it, assuming
something's wrong. This version doesn't use recursion and
so works on long files:
(defun elc-delete-buffer-trailing-ws ()
"get rid of trailing whitespace in all lines in current buffer"
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(goto-char (point-min))
(end-of-line)
(delete-horizontal-space)
(loop do (let ((inhibit-field-text-motion t))
(end-of-line 2)
(delete-horizontal-space))
while (/= (point) (point-max)))))
