This would have the effect of having MARC::Record output invalid records that 
we *know* are invalid.  There's no way around it -- an ISO2709 blob can be no 
longer than 99999 octets, and a strict parser (a couple of which do exist in 
the wild) would drop records where the Leader/05 does not match the length of 
the record as determined by the location of the record terminator character.

I'm much more inclined to accept a patch to MARC::Record that introduces a more 
forgiving input parsing mode.

Regards,

Galen
