    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
