I have asked Edward Liaw explore options to localize the fix to the
problem introduced by the following commit

809216233555 ("selftests/harness: remove use of LINE_MAX")

I am not happy with the churn. I don't plan to merge this series
as it for sure.

If and when this problem gets fixed, I plan to merge the change and
take it through kselftest.
