Details:

this looks similar to others (like http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45275) but
the patch for that doesn't seem to help.

anyway this was reported on solaris:

{mlsulliv:stargazer:96} /usr/gnu/bin/make `perl -e 'print"a"x5000'`
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

3.82 used to print an error then crash differently, but
here's the stack:

{mlsulliv:stargazer:97} pstack core
core 'core' of 144693:  /usr/gnu/bin/make
