Well, the limitation is hmm, old. It serves only to enforce a
document structure which is fully compliant to the DSC. I doubt that
there are still many printers which refuse PS files with lines longer
than 255 characters...
As a first measure I've replaced the errors in grops with warnings so
that overlong lines actually get included into the output.

Hopefully, you get something working. On the other hand, it no longer
causes severe problems.

If it makes too much trouble please simply forget it...
