I am afraid this looks like a hard coded limit.  ie, something along the lines 
of
	char* string = malloc(1024);

and then some assertation failing making sure the parameter does not exceed 
its bounds.

I haven't written the server but chances are extremely high that both 
implemtations share the same codebase apart from the platform specific 
aspects.

But then, I could be horribly wrong :)  You are better off just trying this on 
a windows server (any recent windows box should do) and see whether that's a 
linux problem only or shared across architectures.

Hope this helps.
