Ok, I've just found some bizarre behavior with llDialog.
It seems that the extra bit added by LL in the last patch - the display of the owner name and object name at the top of the dialog - counts against the 512 character limit for a dialog string.
However, SL's own bounds checking only checks the actual string that you pass to llDialog. So if your string is shorter than 512 characters, but becomes longer once the LL bit is added - then the end of your dialog message will be chopped off!
Beware, anyone who uses multiple dialogs to list stuff..

I will ask the engineer who implemented that new behavior to try to address this in the next release. It may be too late for that, and if so we will be sure to do everything possible to resolve this for the release after that!
