On further thought: that coding treats anything longer than 1000
bytes as a stopword, but maybe we should just accept it unmodified.
The manual says "A Snowball dictionary recognizes everything, whether
or not it is able to simplify the word".  While "recognizes" formally
includes the case of "recognizes as a stopword", people might find
this behavior surprising.  We could alternatively do it as attached,
which accepts overlength words but does nothing to them except
case-fold.  This is closer to the pre-patch behavior, but gives up
the opportunity to avoid useless downstream processing of long words.
