Hi!

After using Gnats 3.113 for a couple of months, I discovered
that the index file gets a corrupted entry if a subject/synopsis
from e-mail is longer than about 80 chars. The file made out of
the report is OK, it adjustes the length of the subject. However, 
the index file gets messed up, and you have to run a gen-index
or manually edit the file.

When this error occurs, the PR preceding the corrupted line
will be displayed twice in the query results window.

Our firm uses Gnats on a daily basis, and we hope that this bug 
will be removed in coming versions.
