Just wanted to confirm this is definitely a problem - had to switch to Windows recently and found this out.

I see the actual hosts file management is done within https://github.com/txn2/txeh.

Could the txeh library be changed so it would split the hostnames into multiple lines, once it reaches 9 hostnames per address (for windows only)?

Or do you think this is for some reason undesirable?
I could dive in and see if I can create a PR - but please confirm this is something you see as a benefit.
