That is absolutely false.  The whole point of the
glGetProgramiv(GL_INFO_LOG_LENGTH) query is so that the application can
allocate a buffer to store the data that will be returned by
glGetProgramInfoLog.  Having those mismatch, under any circumstances, is wrong
to the point that it could create a buffer overrun security problem.
