+1

Why give faulty implementations a pass? They should suck it up and fix 
their problems. I always like to tell people that there *is* an upper 
bound on the length of a header field - the length of the complete 
message. To implement sip you do need to buffer the whole message 
somewhere, and you can use that as the storage for each header field 
within the message. So handling long header fields *should* not be a 
problem.
