Looking at what status changed in the five minutes before the crash I
found two status reports which had each line lengths of 6576 and 6897
characters, but both far shorter than the MAX_LINE_LEN of 16384
characters

Another thing I could imagine are lines with no trailing newline at
the end. But then again I have no idea where they could come from nor
how I should look for them.

		Kind regards, Axel Beckert
