Re: Solaris 7 dtmailpr buffer overflow - word too long terminal freeze

[dotslash () snosoft com]

Speaking of terminal locking up... on OSX I noticed when I try to 
overflow buffers with perl -e print blah blah I get
word too long at some point.... as soon as I hit the Word too long sweet 
spot ... give it a few more A's and it usually
aggrivates the terminal to the point to which it is useless... does 
anyone know why? I think this gentleman below had the
same sort of thing happen to him.
