The reading of the proxy response should be done more intelligently -- my
previous message still stands, in describing the behaviour but I ought to
read proxy responses in a better way in any case. Just increasing
MAX_LINE_LENGTH probably isn't the way to go as it would increase overall
memory usage unnecessarily.

  Upon further experimenting it seems the constant MAX_LINE_LENGTH (1024) is
not large enough for my proxy's responses.  Unfortunately, I don't have the
facility to recompile for my Windows environment or I'd increase that and
see what happens.  I also don't have a sniffer to watch the traffic in and
out of my machine, so this is just a theory.  It appears borne out, though,
by the ZBD program crash I experience at the point it tries connecting to
the proxy.  I have more than one proxy I can use; most cause a crash and the
others give me the recursive re-connect I previously mentioned.

  Neil, is there any harm in your increasing MAX_LINE_LENGTH to double or
more in the next version?
