Infinite scroll length on terminals can chew through /tmp, and systems misbehave strangely when they're out of /tmp.

What terminal emulators default to infinite backscrolling? Genuinely curious here. I've used xterm with a scroll buffer of 512 lines for three decades now and outside of large builds I can't imagine wanting more than that.
