pass the buffer length.  Stop using it.  It should be deprecated, but too
late in the release cycle to do that now.
New static format_float() does the same thing but requires passing the
buffer length too.  Use it instead.

Also change all the helper functions to pass along the size of the
msgbuf and use PyOS_snprintf() when writing into the buffer.

const char* instead of char*.  The change is conceptually correct, and
indirectly fixes a compiler wng introduced when somebody else innocently
passed a const char* to this function.

seterror() uses a char array and a pointer to the current position in
that array.  Use snprintf() and compute the amount of space left in
the buffer based on the current pointer position.

If it returns -1 (which indicates overflow on old Linux platforms and
perhaps on Windows) or size greater than buffer, write a message
indicating that the previous message was truncated.

parameters (like \UNIX) are commonly entered using an empty group to
separate the markup from a following inter-word space; this is not
needed when the next character is punctuation, or the markup is the
last thing in the enclosing group.  These cases were marked
inconsistently; the empty group is now *only* used when needed.

Patch includes additional test case test_basic_line_wrap().

This patch is a candidate for Python 2.1.2.

PyEval_EvalCodeEx():  increment tstate->recursion_depth around the
decref of the frame, because the C stack for this call is still in
use and the decref can lead to __del__ methods getting called.

While this gives tstate->recursion_depth a value proportional to the
depth of the C stack (instead of a small constant no matter how
deeply __del__s recurse), it's not enough to stop the reported crash
when using the default recursion limit on Windows.

Bugfix candidate.
