dropping long, long header fields (was Re: why is this failing?)

Hi.  I had some problems with some long header fields.  "formail" seems to
drop long header fields completely.  I'm not sure if "formail" was
crashing (I don't know where it could've put the core file; it was
processing the mail in a procmail script).  I tried looking at the man
page for formail and it doesn't indicate that there is any maximum limit
to the size of the RFC822 header (does it store it in memory?).

I couldn't find this issue addressed in the FAQs I saw.

I'm using Linux 2.0.32 with the Slackware-installed procmail (3.11pre7).

Thanks.
