Gnats 3.113 has a nasty bug where, when you edit a PR containing text
paragraphs of more than 512 characters, these paragraphs are discarded by
gnatsd. They simply vanish from the PR.
This is caused by the #define MAXLINE 512 in gnats/query.h
I have increased this to 16384 (16kB), and the problem disappeared. The
following patch against the tip of the v3 branch does this:

* query.h: Increase MAXLINE to 16384
