Well. There were additionally one wrong argument for _put_path2 which caused
failures after larger memory block were allocated (no more tbuf_beg==__tb).
After that command lines up to 64K seemed to mostly work, but there was still 
some occasional problems with my test example (I suspect some memory 
corruption). I didn't have time to look into that more detailed yet.
