I'm delighted that it's finally getting attention from people!

dkm is right about this.
> 2. Why was it necessary to write `hGetLine` in such a low-level way?
The original hGetLine was written in a similar way, but it needed to be
extended to read a maximum line length (for security) with an arbitrary
end-of-line sequence (to be more general). I think I used KMP to make it
more general, because it was fun, and to avoid algorithmic complexity
attacks. When writing tordnsel code I was aiming to maximize reusability
within reason.
> 3. Is is possible to contact you by email? What address should be used?
Look at where I added myself to this ticket, then add berkeley.edu to the
email address prefix. If you find my pgp key, please don't use it now (or
send sensitive emails). I keep if offline, and I haven't unpacked
everything since recently moving.
