When using struct.pack with Jython 2.1, an attempt to
pack a string longer than 20 characters will cause a
Java array overflow.  See below for example.

% jython
Jython 2.1 on java1.2 (JIT: sunwjit)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> a = 'abcd'
>>> b = 8*a
>>> len(b)
32
>>> b
'abcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcdabcd'
>>> import struct
>>> struct.pack('>32s', b)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in ?
