If you can think of a way to redesign the lexer so that it doesn't have an
arbitrary limitation at all, that may be best, but just increasing the
buffer sizes sounds reasonable (to me) for maintenance.

Maybe it would be a good idea to update the man-page of dhcpd.conf to

Not exactly; my memory is that this format is supported because it is
identical to BIND 9 config format.  This allows using the 'include'
statement in bind9 named.conf and dhcpd.conf to read the same key, and you
only have to update the key in one place if you change it.

Where would one suggest such a thing? I'm thinking dhcp-users might not

Make a patch against the most recent release from www.isc.org and mail it to
dhcp-bugs@ for bugs or dhcp-suggest@ for features. :)
