I settled on 60.  Is that enough to cover any conceivable result?
Unfortunately, the result is "0" to indicate failure, yielding no
information about how much space I ought to have had.  I could do
the loop over and over until something was "big enough", but instead
if it takes more than 60, then you just don't get the submitter name.
Go live someplace that uses a smaller time zone name. ;)
