Hi,

I thought I had hit a bug in galoisexport(), but eventually I figured
out what I was actually hitting was the MAX_ARG_STRLEN limitation when
passing output of galoisexport() longer than MAX_ARG_STRLEN to an
external program via extern().  This is just an FYI, in case someone
else runs into this.  I rewrote my tools to use temporary files
instead, and everything is peachy now.
