[issue10833] Replace %.100s by %s in PyErr_Format(): the arbitrary limit of 500 bytes is outdated

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

I agree with Eric.  Limiting field width when formatting error messages is a good safety measure.  It is not only the amount of garbage that can be spitted in error logs, if garbage is not null-terminated, you may get a SEGV instead of a somewhat meaningful error message.
