Package: libwrap0
Version: 7.6.q-19
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

There's a hard limit of 2047 bytes for each line (after line continuations) in
files like /etc/hosts.allow. As we have a pretty extensive list, this sounds
a bit cumbersome; there's no good reason why this needs to be a static buffer.
Can this restriction be lifted somehow by using a dynamically growing one 
instead?
