That's good to know, but not much help here: I'm patching the Python
tokenizer, so it's probably not good to rely on Python strings and
string methods and so forth at that point.

Ah, sorry to be quiet on this one. I found this overrun and have a slightly
better (I think) patch that tries to do better than a magic number and raises
an exception if the formatted string would overflow its buffer. I'tll try to
have something out today (tomorrow at the latest).
