    Do not truncate too long hostnames
    
    If a hostname is supplied to tor-resolve which is too long, it will be
    silently truncated, resulting in a different hostname lookup:
    
    $ tor-resolve $(python -c 'print("google.com" + "m" * 256)')
    
    If tor-resolve uses SOCKS5, the length is stored in an unsigned char,
    which overflows in this case and leads to the hostname "google.com".
    As this one is a valid hostname, it returns an address instead of giving
    an error due to the invalid supplied hostname.
