Even this large bump cannot solve all the problems of RAR password cracker.
drar (something similar to unssh tool) can currently generate *very
lengthy (megabytes)* lines.
So, for such cases I am forced to rely on my original hack of passing
the filename from drar
and then processing the actual file in drar_fmt.c. The code will look
better this time compared to first patch using this hack :-).
Sounds okay?

Thanks Solar and magnum. At some point I will get back to working on
ssh patch and will take care of these issues.
Yesterday, I managed to get "rar -p" mode somewhat working. More on this later.
