I have a question about this old patch, as it just came down in a CentOS 6 
update. I think the patch is applied to the data channel in ASCII mode and not 
just the control channel. On the data channel in ASCII mode, there should be no 
assumption of maximum line length before EOL. I saw that your current value 
came from vsftpd's header file. I'm guessing if you look at the implementation, 
it's either only applied to the control channel or it's just used to set a 
single read size inside of a loop.  Examples of ASCII mode files that can 
exceed nearly any MAXLINE value without EOL are XML files or EDI files.
