+Cody changed the buffer size to `ARG_MAX+1` which should be enough (again
 theoretically) especially since the command expects redirecting a dictionary
 file as part of the command line. This also makes it possible for longer strings
 to be read (in case the `gets()` was not used in a loop). Thank you Cody for
