How to reproduce:
Run this command inside screen
$ printf '\x1b[10000000T'

screen will recursively call MScrollV to depth n/256. This is time consuming and will overflow stack if n is huge.

There is already code to handle huge value below the recursion.
if (ye - ys + 1 < n)
IIUC, we can just remove the recursion and don't change its behavior.
