Re: minimum buf_size doesn't fit me anymore

A-whups, got the bufsizes mixed up.  Should have been bufsize.

I'm using the RPM stuff to manage my entire packagelist, which at 1000+ RPMs 
results in a lot of classes being set and "Buffer overflow constructing 
string. Increase bufsize macro." messages when passing it to a shellcommand.
