    should have included in my previous email but (as mentioned here - 
    http://macslash.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/04/1330224&mode=thread ), 
    using emacs ctrl-a, ctrl-k and ctrl-y ctrl-y in succession shows that 
    it requires between 1280 and 1380 characters to crash the screensaver 
    (I didn't have time to find an exact number)
