[issue28971] nntplib is broken when responses are longer than _MAXLINE

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

It seems to me there are two issues:

1) The limit of line length is not large enough.
2) After raising an error on too long line the NNTP object is left in broken state.

The first issue can be solved by increasing the default limit or by patching the nntp module in tests.

For the second issue I suggest to open new tracker issue.
