    Hmm, the strings should be dynamically allocated, but you might
    be encountering a line length limit of 1000 chars imposed, due
    to the way the varargs stuff works. [..]

    I'll do some tests to verify, [..]

	I did some tests.. seems lines can get pretty darn long before
	anything freaks out.

	But I think what I should do is enforce some line limits
	which is surely better than just enlarging the buffers.

	I looked at the code, and it actually /should/ be enforcing
	line limits, but I think something is causing ultra long lines
	to potentially sneak through.

	I'm about to come out with a maintenance release (102.42a1),
	I'll be sure to enforce some line limits to prevent crashing
	the daemons.

	Some tests:
