+	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'.
