I think it is "silly" to make log-entries of this size. BUT, it seams
to be happening. Therefore, I agree with Rainer; we should support it.
And so, we should do it in -sign.


BTW,
The same example also shows we NEED to allow '\n' in a logline.

Chris, can you add it to the issue list?

I think we shoul only allow \n  (1 char) as lin e terminator; each
flatform has to translate it into the correct \r\n, \n \n\r sequence
before "printing it". Then the logmsg is independent.
