apt 0.7.14: runtime error: Method file has died unexpectedly

When the length of the tmpdir is longer than 400, there is an error
when run "apt-get update":

Method file has died unexpectedly!

This is because the "char S[1024]" is not enough for long URI, S[2048]
would be enough.

+Method file has died unexpectedly

+"Method file has died unexpectedly!", this is because the "char S[1024]"
+is not enough for the long the URI, "char S[2048]" would be enough.
+
+It would be boring if we use malloc here since we can't know how much
+memory is needed except strelen() every component of it. So similarly
+use "char S[2048]" as it did before.
