Could you tell me what the maximum size a frame notes and job notes are?

Last night we had a couple of jobs that "accidentally" created very large
frame notes that appeared to crash rushd. We are looking at preventing this
from happening again but it would be useful to know.

	Hmm, the strings should be dynamically allocated, but you might
	be encountering a line length limit of 1000 chars imposed, due
	to the way the varargs stuff works. (In some cases, sprintf() is
	used, such that it's very difficult to anticipate the size
	of the variable arguments)

	I'll do some tests to verify, but offhand I'd say try to keep
	lines shorter than 1000 chars. Esp in the case of frame notes,
	where the limit would include the width of each line in the
	'rush -lf' report.

	If need be, I can supply a binary with the character limit of
	the sprintf()s expanded to 4096.
