Keywords: news 2.11, sys file, max length of lines == LBUFLEN == 1024

am i mistaken in thinking that LBUFLEN, which is defined in defs.h as 1024
is used as the size of the buffer which contains the sys line for a site.
it's very easy to go over this (I know, I just did)
i thought 2.11 malloc'd everything (including the kitchen sink)

or am i just being stupid (yes, i know, RTFM)
