No.

The library routine does not know how large the original buffer was.
It was *probably* MAX_OID_LEN, but the routine should not blindly
assume this.

It *might* be appropriate to cache the original length at the start
of the routine, and restore this value in case of over-run.   But it
certainly wouldn't be right to force a length of MAX_OID_LEN.
