+       The command, `yes ''|./cat -n' would stop printing after INT_MAX lines.

+       Prevent a counter buffer overrun when numbering lines and when
+       processing 100 billion lines (or more) of input.
+       * src/cat.c (LINE_COUNTER_BUF_LEN): Define to allow numbering as
+       many as 10^18 - 1 lines (the old limit was 10^11 - 1, and could
+       be exceeded without too much trouble).  Use this symbol rather
+       than hard-coding the constant everywhere.
+       (next_line_num): Rather than overruning for input with more lines,
+       mark the line number by putting a `>' in the leftmost slot.
+       Patch by Jan Nieuwenhuizen.
+
        * src/sort.c (SORT_OUT_OF_ORDER): Define.
        (main): Use it instead of hard-coding the `1'.
