welp, I minimized it a bit and it crashed xterm too.

I minimized it to 772 characters:

$ wc -m input.txt
772 input.txt

Here is the minimized version (gzipped and base64 encoded to avoid
crashing anything anybody's mail client).

$ gzip -9c < input.txt | base64

To reproduce in XTerm, decode the file then try to select the line.

I'll send a report to Thomas Dickey.
