Package: tetex-bin
Version: 3.0-10.1
Severity: normal

I just upgraded to 3.0 and noticed that DVI does not break long \hrefs
across a line - while PDF does.  A simple test case is attached.

BTW, this new xdvi is cool.

As discussed in the bug this is a limitation of the dvips driver. The
README of hyperref now has a section "7 Limitations":

Wrapped/broken link support
 Only few drivers support automatically wrapped/broken links,
 e.g. pdftex, dvipdfm, hypertex. Other drivers lack this
 feature, e.g. dvips, dvipsone.
 Workarounds:
 * For long section or caption titles in the table of contents
   or list of figures/tables option "linktocpage" can be used.
   Then the page number will be a link, and the overlong section
   title is not forced into an one line link with overvull \hbox
   warning.
 * "\url"s are caught by package "breakurl".
 * The option "breaklinks" is intended for internal use. But it
   can be used to force link wrapping, e.g. when printing a
   document. However, when such a document is converted to PDF
   and viewed with a PDF viewer, the active link area will be
   misplaced.
     Another limitation: some penalties are "optimized" by TeX,
   thus there are missing break points, especially within
   \url. (See thread "hyperref.sty, breaklinks and url.sty 3.2"
   in comp.text.tex 2005-09).

This should be sufficient -> Closing your bug.
