As I thought about it a bit more, I thought that 64K is an awful lot of
text.  I copied the entire comment (it is fully available in the edit
screen) into a OpenOffice Writer document and it shows only 4527
characters.  That would seem to be well under 64K.

This was opened as a Bibletime bug long ago and the full text of a
sample truncated comment was placed in the bug report.  Thanks - John
