So you bump the size of the buffer and continue to use an "unsafe" call
that could overflow the buffer?  Is this a plan to submit a series of
patches all "fixing" something based on the last change?  :)

As Krzysztof said, this whole thing is not needed at all.  Please fix
your tool to generate valid changes.
