The current head revision of mkenvimage
(e72be8947e) will prevent you from creating
an env image from a text file that is larger than the env length specified
by the '-s' option. That doesn't make sense given that the tool now allows
comments and blank lines. This patch removes that limitation and allows
longer text files to be used.
I don't have time / desire at the moment to figure out "patman" and could
really care less if this is adopted up stream. Just figured I would share
in case anybody else finds it useful enough to take time to do a proper
patch.

Subject: [PATCH] In mkenvimage, removed the check that prevented using a
source text file larger than the output environment image. Instead, the main
parsing loop checks to see if the environment buffer is full, and quits if it
is. After the main parse loop, a second loop swallows comments and
whitespace until either the EOF is reached or more env vars are found, in
which case an error will be thrown.
