Bug Description
The macros VAR_MAX_VARS and VAR_MAX_VAR_STRING are hard-coded limits built into the dbLoadTemplate() routine, and there are no checks in the code for exceeding either limit. At minimum the code should prevent overflows and abort the dbLoadTemplate() [when this is done the importance of this bug can be reduced to low or wish-list], but I would prefer to remove the limits completely.

Mostly fixed on 3.14 branch by commit 12434, which added the variable dbTemplateMaxVars.
