I had about 5 minutes to look into this this afternoon: BIG-REQUESTS
postdates me, but it sort of looks like XDrawString doesn't implement
it, from what I could tell in a very quick look.
My suggestion to Chris was to fix mozilla: sending more than a 1/4 megabyte
in a single string is completely bogus behavior. Chris says that
the bug was tickled by someone setting up some javascript to generate
such a string, causing the poor viewer of that page's mozilla to crash
(by the request stream getting FUBAR'ed beyond belief). Mozilla was
worried this behavior was a potential security problem (and maybe it is,
but I haven't thought about it....).
Whether we should bother to fix this one is less than clear, but I thought
it should be at least thought about.
