I think I had similar problems with dpkg.  I found that increasing the
buffer size made investigating the dbg.log file a tough job.  That's why
I wrote match_items() in lib/library.exp which matches items in chunks
(default 20).  Most complete test wrapper functions use `match_items()',
so if you'd use the test wrappers like `assert_complete()' things would
work also without increasing buffer size?
