You're right to be worried, as not only are there problems handling long phrases, I believe there are actually buffer overrun vulnerabilities in this space. Even if these problems are fixed now (whatever that means) the existance of a buffer overrun means some firewalls are likely to enforce draconian limits on such things.' Ned
