admitted - the buffer length could clearly be a problem (in connection
with translation).

Actually I also tried something like this, but couldn't get it to work
(the biggest problem being that stuff will not show up in one line
after the locus printout).

With this you are almost back to my last version, except that you
allocate the buffer dynamically.
