Gah. I hate this kind of thing. Is there an official max
property length in the documentation someplace? (Yes, I'm
too lazy to look right now.)

As I suggested before, I'd really prefer to see this routine
factored out of icccm/. It really doesn't seem to belong
there. Move it into the property library, unless there's
one like it there already, in which case just delete it.
