nsupdate buffer

	I had a script go berserk and nsupdate got a file
consisting of about 50,000 adds which caused a buffer overflow
error and mercifully no changes.

What is the largest sized file
of changes that one can use under nsupdate?

	We sometimes make blocks of adds and deletions which
might cover over a thousand Address records, but 50,000 is 
a wee bit much so I am not surprised that nsupdate croaked, but
how likely is it to choke on a more down-to-Earth file?

	Thank you.
