All buffers eventually fill and block, or fill and fail!

I wonder what tmux actually does.  I can't find any obvious mention in
the docs or sources of how much scrollback or buffering it does.

Most regular terminal emulators limit the amount of scrollback text they
save.  Some might have the option to "limit to available memory", like
macos Terminal, which can really hose you if it causes paging that then
stalls the system!
