Damien, thanks for your answer.  any comments on ancillary issues?

* should the limit be documented, or removed?  or should the limit just be increased?
SAN> There's a third option.  If the line is found to be longer than 1022 (1024?) characters, it should be flagged as an error in the config file.  This is in conjunction with the documentation option.

while (fgets(line, sizeof(line), f)) {
/* NEW */   if (line[strlen(line)-1] != '\n') generate-an-error();

/* Update line number counter. */
    linenum++;
    if (process_config_line_depth(options, pw, host,
         original_host,
        line, filename, linenum, activep, flags, depth)
        >> != 0)
            bad_options++;
