Expect's default buffer size is too small - 2000 bytes according to the man 
page here - for cases where we have a lot of completions.  In addition to rpm, 
there are at least pkg_info, portupgrade, portinstall, and probably quite a 
few other tests that have this problem.

Opinions, should we fiddle with match_max where needed (like 
lib/completions/rpm.exp above), or should we just bump it to a large value 
(100000?) for all tests?  I'm leaning towards the latter.
