Hi.

The macro STRING_CONSTRUCTOR in _string.c limits the size of strings to 
512 bytes. I don't think that this is necessary. Does anybody know, why it
is is implemenented in this way? 

There should be at least an assertion for a precondition or a size check 
in the macro. Programs which want to construct longer strings with varargs
just crash/core dump.


Thanks in advance,
	Peter.
