I was able to reproduce this.  The makefile passes this symbol via a 
command line run by bash.  It seems like a sizing change - bash 2.04
fails with the original sizes but bash 2.05 is successful.  It appears 
that if the data being passed in the symbol is more than around 2000
characters it fails with the bash 2.04 provided in the refresh.

I suspect this test file was created using bash 2.05 as the implementation
environment?
