There's nothing in the code that has any limit or border at 1000 bytes so
there's really no explanation to me. Also, that's a really old example that
might be one of our most frequently used and discussed why I simply don't
believe it has such a fatal flaw.

I think you have made a mistake somewhere in your code.
