There are two versions of the country files, a small one with just a
few callsign exceptions, and the "bigcty" one with the long list that
we are using now. xdx had assumed the file is smaller (while still
having the bigcty version in mind, I think):

/* Buffer size for reading in a single cty.dat record.  Currently the
 * entire cty.dat file is just under 80k bytes, so any single record should
 * be much less than this value, but with additions of callsign exceptions
 * record sizes will undoubtedly continue to grow.
 */
#define MAX_RECORD_SIZE 65536

I'm adding a check to hamradio-files to see if our new assumption of
not exceeding 128kB holds:
