 The function \fBset_field_status\fR sets the associated status flag of
 \fIfield\fR; \fBfield_status\fR gets the current value.  The status flag
 is set to a nonzero value whenever the field changes.

 The function \fBset_max_field\fR sets the maximum size for a dynamic field.
 An argument of 0 turns off any maximum size threshold for that field.
 .SH RETURN VALUE
 The \fBfield_buffer\fR function returns NULL on error.
