I thought that the line which exceeds 1024 bytes is too long.
However, it is not good to throw work easily.

How about chopping the tail of the line like this?
strlimcpy(first_line, _, sizeof(first_line));
|
v
strncpy(first_line, _, sizeof(first_line));
first_line[sizeof(first_line) - 1] = '\0';
The tail part of the line which exceeds 1024 bytes is not important, I think.
I will fix the bug like this if there is no opposite.
Thank you for your report!
