Thanks for your report.

Yes, I had recognized it. So there is a notice about it as the
follwing;

libnamazu.h:
enum {
    /* Size of general buffers. This MUST be larger than QUERY_MAX */
    BUFSIZE = 1024,        

    QUERY_TOKEN_MAX =  32, /* Max number of tokens in the query. */
    QUERY_MAX       = 256, /* Max length of the query. */

    INDEX_MAX = 64        /* Max number of databases */
};

.. Oops, it is only QUERY_MAX, not mentioned about
CGI_QUERY_MAX. I'll fix it.

CGI program (namazu.cgi) and command-line programm (namazu) is
separated, and command-line program is prohibited to invoke as
CGI. Therefore I think it is not so serious.

At all events, I'll fix it in next release. Thanks.
