parse_affentry() and addCompoundAffixFlagValue() each collect fields from an affix file into working buffers of size BUFSIZ. They failed to defend against overlength fields, so that a malicious affix file could cause a stack smash. BUFSIZ (typically 8K) is certainly way longer than any reasonable affix field, but let's fix this while we're closing holes in this area. I chose to do this by silently truncating the input before it can overrun the buffer, using logic comparable to the existing logic in get_nextfield(). Certainly there's at least as good an argument for raising an error, but for now let's follow the existing precedent.
