/usr/bin/ksh
% cp /usr/dt/bin/dtmail .
% export MAIL=`perl -e print "A"x2000'`
% ./dtmail
<!-- Clicked on [Local] when Xwindow popped up -->

dtmail didn't crash.
% export MAIL=`perl -e 'print "A"x20000'`
% ./dtmail

Didn't crash either.
% export HOME=`perl -e 'print "A"x360'`
% ./dtmail
Segmentation Fault(coredump)
Looks like there is something in $HOME, not in $MAIL
