These days, 4 in this auction has a message "Partner, if you were dealt 13 cards you must pass, otherwise you are free to go on". I suspect that this sequence was heavily accented towards pure pre-emptive nuisance even twenty four years ago, but with her vulnerable opponents quiet North perhaps meant her 4 bid to have constructive overtones and therefore maybe South had some excuse to go on. Nevertheless, it's a poor slam.

How would you play on a trump lead? East is void and discards 8, 4 and 2.
