[news.software.nntp] limitation in line parsing.

	Hi,

	After test and discussion with Phil Lapsley, I have reached a limitation
which can be supress (minimize) in the NNTP server (1.5). This limitation concern
the buffer 'line' in parsit.c, which is 132 char length. This buffer is used when
parsing newsgroups specification in the NEWNEWS command by example. I have 
declared it 255 length, and it works very well. I can now answer correctly to very 
complicated (LONG) NEWNEWS line requests . 

	Hope this could help someone.

PS: Phil Lapsley is the author of this part of the server.
