    xterm -title `perl -e 'print "A" x 9000'` on my system does not crash X,
    but rather uses 100% CPU and starts the xterm.  I'm using X 4.1.0 and
    blackbox window manager.  Top reveals that the window manager consumes
    all available CPU.  X slows to an unusable crawl, but console are still
    responsive.
