* Implement an ugly workaround for the 10000-character limit on the
Binaries field in debSrcRecordParser, until such time as some things
can be converted over to use STL data types (ABI change) (Closes: #236688)
* Increase default tagfile buffer from 32k to 128k; this arbitrary limit
should also be removed someday (Closes: #174945)
