I just tried this and verified it on Linux AND on Solaris.  It is NOT a
Linux problem per se, but an AIPS command line limitation.  You can only
enter 80 characters per line because of buffer size limitations.  A quick
look at various $APLSUB routines and include files convinces me that it's
not just a quick fix to increase it either.
