Christian Heimes added the comment:

RFC 3977 specifies:

  Command lines MUST NOT exceed 512 octets, which includes
  the terminating CRLF pair.

However NNTP also have multi-line data blocks. The RFC says nothing about the 
maximum length of a data line. We may need two limits here, one for command 
lines (2048 perhaps) and one much larger for data lines (a couple of MB?).

Can somebody check other implementations?
