Careful with dlen().  Nancy Palmquist knows more of the details, but
there's a bug in dlen() that causes fP to crash.  I've seen the resulting
backtraces of those crashes, and they're not pretty.  I think it has
something to do with sizes >1024, but again, Nancy knows more about this.
Apparently it's been fixed in 5.6, but exists in 5.0.x and prior.
