I hope we don't have any fixed-size buffers that expect to be big enough to hold any string. I can't think of any off-hand, but it'd be bad if we did. > 3.

It shouldn't be hard. I'll flag it as something to do soon. I forgot to mention something else in my status report. I'm planning to drastically simplify how PSPP is configured. Currently there's a hairy mess of environment variables, command-line options, multiple levels of defaults, and so on. There is way more than needed. I'm planning to get rid of most of it. That'll make life easier for everyone: developers won't have to look at complicated code and users won't have to understand complicated instructions in the manual.
