	Also applicable to -current (as of a few weeks ago).

>Description:
	Kbdcontrol won't send out macros exactly 16 chars wide.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
kbdcontrol -f 10 "12345678901234567"
kbdcontrol: function key string too long (17 > 16)
kbdcontrol -f 10 "1234567890123456"
[Hit f10 then nothing]
kbdcontrol -f 10 "123456789012345"
[Hit f10 then ] 123456789012345
