Awstats.  I used Webalizer for a very long time, but switched a few
months ago.

...which is 62 characters.  I wonder if Webalizer uses "char[64]"s for
its User-Agent strings.  Presumably that's short for something like

  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050101 \
  Firefox/1.0

which is what my browser here at home sends.
