Bug Description

glpk uses a fixed-sized buffer when parsing mathprog input; and the buffer size is a tiny 100 bytes. This can cause problems when reading or writing files with long paths; and especially when using SQL input.

Suggest changing this to something much larger but still reasonable, at least 8,000 bytes and preferably more.

Some discussion on the mathprog mailing list: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-glpk/2009-03/msg00036.html
