I was able to reproduce this on a Solaris 8 sparc machine with different
tolerances:

[288] uname -a
SunOS hostname 5.8 Generic_108528-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
[289] /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -tn `perl -e 'print "A"x1083'`
Segmentation Fault(coredump)
[297] /usr/dt/bin/dtterm -tn `perl -e 'print "A"x2083'`
Bus Error(coredump)
