Not in emacsclient.c. In src/, I see 100 mostly used as

  char tmp_buf[100];

and similar; but as a size for alloca (), xmalloc () etc. it appears
only a few times, alone or as part of an expression.

I've already checked the patch with 32, which seems a fine default: a
power of two and small (and it is used a few times already on
emacsclient.c). 42 was obviously only a joke.

But if you insist I can change all these 32 to 100. Or use a macro for
all these EXTRA_SPACE, if you suggest a good name for it.
