#11617: sending any large string at all to the gp PARI pexpect interface fails

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
In Sage-4.7 (on Linux and OS X), we have:
{{{
sage: '***' in gp.eval('a='+str(range(10^3)))
False
sage: '***' in gp.eval('a='+str(range(10^4)))
False
sage: '***' in gp.eval('a='+str(range(10^5)))
False
sage: '***' in gp.eval('a='+str(range(10^6)))
True
}}}
The "***" appearing in the output means that an error occurs. Looking
further we find:
{{{
sage: print gp.eval('a='+str(range(10^6)))
*** [...] at: read("/scratch/wstei
*** ^--------------------
*** in function read: read("/scratch/wstei
...
*** read: error opening input file:
`/scratch/wstein/sage//temp/mod.math.washington.edu/17446//interface//tmp17449'.
}}}
Shockingly, looking at the file we are reading it we find that it
contains:
{{{
sage: !more
/scratch/wstein/sage//temp/mod.math.washington.edu/17446//interface//tmp17449
read("/scratch/wstein/sage//temp/mod.math.washington.edu/17446//interface//tmp17449")
}}}
So, instead of writing the long string we are supposed to read in, the
file contains a single line asking to read in itself!
