Richard pointed out that this was dumb in an email to the devel mailing list on 16 September 2007. We were allocating a buffer much longer than necessesary on the off chance that plugins were changing the contents of the string and making it longer without bothering to allocate their own version.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
