Hello,
When reading this for loop, I am concerned about the case where the
member list exceeds 2Go on a system with a 32-bit CPU (where
sizeof(long) = 4). Even if it seems very unlikely, if this ever
happens, the loop will become infinite. Would you agree with adding
"&& grbuflen > 0" to the condition of the while statement?
Anyway, if you do not agree, this patch looks good to me.
