    ptserver: Increase length limit of namelist, idlist, prlist, prentries
    
    An implementation limit of those lists was introduced in commit
    a0ffea098d8c5c5b46c6bf86a12d28d6e7096685 to prevent using unlimited
    amounts of memory in ptserver and the client.  Subsequent reports
    indicate that the chosen limits are small enough to restrict
    functionality currently in use at some sites where membership lists
    exceed the current limit.  Since this is just an implementation-
    defined limit and can freely change from release to release, increase
    the threshold by an order of magnitude to preserve functionality for
    existing deployments while still retaining some protection against
    attacker-controlled excessive memory allocation.
