The number 10240 is the MAXDATA in bytes that will be cheked.
The problem is that this results in uncomplete lines, and hence my IGNORE
patterns does not always apply.
The idea was that logfetch should report only complete lines. I don't
know quite where that broke, but I will look into it. It looks like it
is a problem only when the maximum amount of logfile data is reached.
