Summary: Parsing lengthy options fails in configuration file

Details: Hi!

I have tested creating a $HOME.sablevm file with the following content:

--- BEGIN  ---
class-path=0123456789... (continuing for a very long time)
--- END ---

When I do this, I get the following error message:

$ sablevm 
sablevm: unable to open config file /home/egagnon/work/etc
Invalid syntax in /home/egagnon/.sablevm: 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123

Finally!  I found the problem with this "bug report".  The
message width is so large that the "submit change" button is
far on the right of the html page...

OK.

The requested file is in CVS, in:

test/configuration/sablevm

Eh...

Could I get a copy of the file you used?  It
might be running up against some internal
constraint of the fgets function, in which case
we'll have to re-implement using fgetc.

However, I suspect there's some parsing issue
with the line-based reads and realloc's.

Thanks,
