I ran into a similar deal with a textbox and " a while back but I think
the issue was sending it back to the browser after the browser sent it
up.

In the absence of direct help, I would first look to see where the
truncation is occurring ie; what is the browser sending? can you post
the value and see what your browser is sending it as? is there anything
in the logs with error_reporting set to E_ALL?

I found trouble shooting the upload process cumbersome since it would
fail without any messages but that was before I started setting the
error_reporting to also log messages.

Not much help but all I got.
