Description

The PyRAF sscanf function (in sscanfmodule.c) has a field width buffer size parameter: 

/*
 * Size of copy buffer for conversions with a specified field width.
 */
#define FWBUFSIZE       512

In the cl, this seems to be set to SZ_LINE, which is 1023. We should make them consistent.

To go into stsci_python 2.6 (fall 2007)
