Curiosity made me test:

on setup
   repeat until len(tStr) > 66000
     put any word of the colornames & space after tStr
   end repeat
   put last word of tStr -- for reference later
   put tStr into fld 1
end setup

The field is a list field with a horizontal scrollbar. I can't see the 
end of the line visually but the message box knows what it is.

 From the message box:

put len(line 1 of fld 1) --  66004
put len(fld 1) -- 66004
put the last word of line 1 of fld 1 -- matches what the handler put there

Works the same for me without the spaces in the string.
