I have recognized that a buffer size of 128*4 bytes is quite small to store 
base64 encoded clipboard content (see OSC52), especially when copying multiple 
code lines in a terminal editor like vim. 1048576 is 1 mega of 4 byte UTF-8 
characters. It is quite big but I simply chose a value that should even be big 
enough for very large text copy operations. Other values are also OK. The point 
is that 128*4 bytes are too small for the escape sequence buffer (in my 
opinion).

Best regards,
Ingo
