{bb} bb-sar.sh seems to be truncating data on some boxes

[Nicolas Dorfsman <ndo@unikservice.com>]

	Hi all,


	Found the issue with bb-sar.sh (thanks to truss).

	src/bb.h :
#define MAXLINE         10240                   /* Static buffer size  
for incoming BB message */

	moved to
#define MAXLINE         30720                   /* Static buffer size  
for incoming BB message */


	recompiled and it works.

	2k should be ok for many boxes. But I have some with many, many SAN  
disks.

	Nicolas
