shell mode bug

When I insert (via mouse stuff, yank or process-send-region) more than 895
characters at a time into a shell mode buffer, the following error message
appears in the minibuffer
 
writing to process: no more processes, shell
 
and the shell dies.  Seemingly, 895 is a magic number; one less, and all  
goes well.
 
My version of GNU Emacs is marked
 
GNU Emacs 18.57.35 of Wed Jul 10 1991 on minestrone.Berkeley.EDU (berkeley-unix)
 
and my Sun 3/60 runs
 
SunOS Release 4.1.1 (GENERIC) #2 
 
I've just switched to this from  
 
Sun UNIX 4.2 Release 3.5 (GENERIC) #5 
 
and an older version of GNU Emacs marked
 
GNU Emacs 18.51.2 of Mon May  9 1988 on priam.Berkeley.EDU (berkeley-unix)
 
which doesn't have this problem.
