https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D273196 --- Comment #4 from Andrew "RhodiumToad" Gierth <andrew@tao11.riddles.org.u= k> --- (In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #3) I concur that the limit is silly and should be removed. What the spec currently requires is that _if_ there is a limit, it must be = at least 255 bytes. However, a former version of the spec specified the 255 character limit: v5 (1997) and v6 (2004): "Constructed arguments cannot grow larger than 255 bytes." v7 (2008): "Each of these constructed arguments cannot grow larger than an implementation-defined limit greater than or equal to 255 bytes." --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
