The code reads each line into a buffer of size 1024 and does not check if
the line is longer. So a line longer than 1024 will be read as a valid line
followed by an invalid line. Then an error confusing to the user is sent
with the test "invalid line format". But the line format is prefectly fine,
the problem is in GRUB's parser. Check if we've hit a line longer than the
size of the buffer, and if so send a more correct and reasonable error.
