Maximal length for :bytes?

It is what I did for Lines: whose real value was not taken into account
for the overview database.  I added a xasprintf call.
But I thought it was more optimal to have a global buffer (this buffer
for Bytes: is in a data structure, the same for a channel) because
it is not reallocated for each article.  Anyway, the loss in term
of performance is neglectable.
