Question regarding the clipboard

This one is a real stumper for me. I looked up the doc on limits, but
could not find one related to linelength in the clipboard.

And, of course, the clipboard does not normally have a limit of that
sort in other programs. 

Speculatively - I think it might be related to Rev's internal process of
putting the variable into the clipboard array. Maybe something in the
data that trips up an internal function, and causes it to stop
transferring the data partway through.

Has anyone else ever had problems putting long strings without linefeeds
into the clipboard?
