xml writing strings with newlines doesn't respect max buffer length #82
Description
Can anyone explain the logic of this if statem and the block it controls?

Line 219 in 6f60cf1
I'm finding that fortran (gfortran 9.4 on linux, specifically), complains about an end of record when I try to write a string with long lines (~2500 characters) separated by newlines, with the error in line 221.
From what I can tell, i (calculated in the previous source line) is the location of the newline, arbitrarily far into the string, so an arbitrarily large integer. As a result, the write statement that runs if a newline is found (i > 0) writes an arbitrarily long string to the file (from current location n to n+i-2).
I think some other logic is supposed to be used (maybe just put this if clause after the one that checks against MAX_BUF_SIZE?), but I don't quite understand what's supposed to be happening.
