>Description:
uniq(1) uses LINE_MAX + 1, but this is not mentioned anywhere in the man page, causing one to wonder why uniq is not working as expected on input with longer lines. 
>How-To-Repeat:
for i in `jot 4096`; do printf "a" >> file; done
echo >> file
for i in `jot 4096`; do printf "a" >> file; done
echo >> file
uniq file
man uniq
