Well, there are no NUL characters if the line is too long, the error lies. 
I haven't yet pulled in the patch, because simply I haven't had time to 
confirm the other uses of the prot_stdio layer are not affected by the 
change (they shouldn't be, but paranoia is good). Otherwise, we will take 
it, and then enable strict rfc compliance in a variable, (and accept large 
lines by default)
