Comment(by pramsey):

 No, it's not hoping. You'll see it adds enough to fit maxlen into the
 buffer. This code is behind all our AsText emitting and KML emitting, it's
 not lightly used or tested. If for some unforseen reason it's just plain
 impossible to add enough buffer or in fact there is a print error it
 errors back to the caller, which seems perfectly reasonable.

 Anyways, I will roll back the big patch shortly and Regina can try and
 force MinGW to behave sanely.
