I can not reproduce this error:

------------------------------
some.solaris: uname -a
SunOS some.machine.edu 5.7 Generic_106542-17 i86pc i386 i86pc

some.solaris: /usr/dt/bin/dtmail -f `perl -e 'print "A"x1200'`
Word too long
------------------------------
Solaris 7 for Intel with the 7_x86_Recommended.zip patches from Sun.
It did lock up my terminal but no segfault and no core.
