No, you run into a known indent bug, where it cannot handle string literals
longer that a certain size. There is an easy fix to this, and there is
a hard one, which requires some code re-structuring so buffers are allocated
dynamically and can grow. I did not fix this, because I hate fast+dirty
patches to some code that requires quite a bit of re-working. [Keith ?? Are
