[9fans] sed line length limit

[dexen deVries]

hi list,


it seems p9p sed has line lenght limit at about 1024 bytes.
however, instead of crashing and burning, or returning some error, it just
happily spews truncated output.


i've just been bitten by it :D

you speed through the eerie nothingness of space
you circle 'round the Moon
and journey back
to face the punishing torment of re-entry

please see /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/sed.c. i think i've taken
care of all these cases. there is at least diagnostic output.
i was somewhat concerned about breaking things, so i didn't
let toolong() sysfatal, but that's an easy mod.
