Your answer doesn't leave much wiggle room, W. If I recall correctly,
this is one of those situations that's covered in Computing 101. I
think I read about something like this in one of Knuth's books many
years ago. I was hoping that a solution would be hidden away
somewhere deep inside Unix. Any chance of increasing the value of W,
even a little?

No.
This is one of the problems of using a scripted application in the
user's space. Your best choice is to munge the data through an
application which the user cannot mess with. This is often much
more difficult, if not impossible, than leveraging an existing
application however.
