Hi,

Recently, I've been running vim tests and I've noticed that one of the
tests is consistently breaking my screen. After narrowing it down,
I've found the culprit. The problem is setting the terminal columns to
a high number. This consequently breaks the screen.

This is only happening with xft fonts. The only line in my .Xresources: 

  URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=11

I've replicated it without vim by running:
  
  printf '\e[8;9999;9999t'

This command is quite slow (compared to xterm) and subsequently breaks
the terminal screen and leaves it in a broken state.

I've tested the behaviour in other terminals (xterm, termit, st) and
it works without problems there.

My URxvt built:
