not true on these machines. i tried as root:

root@dev:/home/jon whoami
root
root@dev:/home/jon /sbin/mingetty `perl -e 'print "A"x9000'`
Segmentation fault

still no core. here's some sys info:

root@dev:/home/jon rpm -q mingetty
mingetty-0.9.4-18
root@dev:/home/jon rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.4-19
root@dev:/home/jon uname -mrspv
Linux 2.4.15-pre8 #1 Sat Nov 24 13:08:16 PST 2001 i686 unknown
