continuous key press results in core dump (PR#331)

[rnassar@duke.edu]

I  encountered this today (I admit it is a result of downright abuse)

Segmentation fault under abnormal conditions (as when stupid finger
accidentally leaned on key): 

at 128 (at least by my count) "continuous" (zzzzzzzzz... or 123qwertyuio...)
characters but NOT when enclosed in " ", and not if numbers.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Again, many thanks and best wishes,
