Wow, "mangled name of some 590K characters"... that's impressive.  The
TUI crash already occurs with much shorter names.  On the other hand,
IIRC, I had a version of my test with more than that (I think it was
over 1MB), and it worked.  So I'm not sure why I didn't hit the problem
above.

Yeah, probably more appropriate.  Changed.

Thanks.  I pushed the whole patch series with the changes above.

Also note that the current implementation has a usability issue.  With
long mangled names, the instructions are no longer visible on the
screen, and a lot of scrolling may be required.  See also

Of course, fixing that would be a different topic.
