gollark: There was a buffer or something it needed which didn't seem to exist because of me hackily patching stuff together, so I just assumed 512 bytes was enough.
gollark: There are probably horrible issues in the code I hackily tweaked, but I can't see them and it doesn't cause immediate crashing, so I ignored it.
gollark: It leaks 28 bytes of memory once, because I thought it wasn't worth adding extra code to deallocate it on exit.
gollark: Although the current version, as far as I can tell, lacks any issues except a *minor* memory leak.
gollark: Sorry, happen.
