To make it fully compatible with MS richedit, the buffer size should
be not 10 chars, but 4096. Although it's not documented, all versions
of MS Richedit always use this value.

Yes, I noticed that too when testing with the MS richedit (but I must
confess I didn't test all versions...). I tried to minimize the change
to Wine's richedit, since minimal changes seem to have a better chance
of getting accepted. I'll submit another patch with a 4096 buffer size
and then Alexandre can pick the one he likes best.
