My tests are OK too but I see an issue with the code in
enlargeStringInfo(), regarding integer overflow.
The bit of comment that says:

  Note we are assuming here that limit <= INT_MAX/2, else the above
  loop could overflow.

is obsolete, it's now INT_MAX instead of INT_MAX/2.

There's a related problem here:
	newlen = 2 * str->maxlen;
	while (needed > newlen)
		newlen = 2 * newlen;
str->maxlen is an int going up to INT_MAX so [2 * str->maxlen] now
*will* overflow when [str->maxlen > INT_MAX/2].
Eventually it somehow works because of this:
	if (newlen > limit)
		newlen = limit;
but newlen is wonky (when resulting from int overflow)
before being brought back to limit.

PFA a minimal fix.
