Summary: fatal error message blows up with large *print-right-margin*

Initial Comment:
My abject apologies if this is a feature, not a bug.

This probably also happens with other errors, but I used division by zero as a handy surrogate.

If I divide by zero and *print-right-margin* is #x3FFFFF, the error message appears as one would expect.  But if I divide by zero and *print-right-margin* is #x400000, then I get several thousand lines of aborted error message, followed by notification of Lisp stack overflow.

=== build details:
I downloaded the currently released version of clisp today (12 Apr 2012) from http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/latest.

I built it the normal way, as shown in the attached script.  Placed into its own empty directory, that script downloads the source, builds and installs clisp, and runs the program twice, first using the higher value of *print-right-margin* (the one that misbehaves), then using the lower value.
