AW: does readlines stop at 255?

[vincent wehren]

Didn't know this one slipped through - I thought I killed the message before
sending it...
Anyway, since I couldn't believe it either, I didn't stop till I found the
bug..
Somebody (who shall go nameless - since it might have been my great self)
sliced the text at some point
in the unfathomable code!

Thanks all the same

Regards
Vincent

readline() can handle any length lines (up to available memory). There
must be something else wrong. Post code.
