Comment(by joshjordan):

 Exporting a dbf that is out of spec may well cause a crash, but this crash
 is caused by query string length, not dbf record length.  It will crash
 even when the exported dbf meets dbf spec when the select statement is
 over 2048 chars.  I changed my buffer to 8192 and no problems since then.
