I've tried:
TZ=`/usr/local/bin/perl -e 'print "A"x1107'`
...on... both 64 bit Solaris 8 and Solaris 7 (we have no 32 bit
machines here) and cannot get the programs to crash. They just
happily display the A's, plus the other information and exit normally.
Solaris 7: SunOS xxx 5.7 Generic_106541-12 sun4u sparc
Solaris 8: SunOS xxx 5.8 Generic_108528-05 sun4u sparc
I keep the patches on the bleeding edge, but I can find nothing
offhand in the latest patchdiag.xref that would have altered this.
Am I missing something?
