Subject: [842] use of ftphosts file

I am running wu-ftpd v2.4 on SunOS 4.1.3 and am having a problem
with the ftphosts file setup.

Is there a limit to the length of the line on an "allow" entry?

Everything was working fine until I added another pattern to
an existing long line, and then all ftp sessions (real and
anonymous) started to fail with a note in the messages file
that said "FTP LOGIN REFUSED (name in /usr/local/etc/ftphosts)" .

The only non-comment that I have in that file is one "allow" line
that is about 256 characters long. Did I hit some internal buffer 
size limit?

Can I have multiple "allow" entries with shorter lines?
