I haven't heard of that specific issue with CSS optimization. It isn't mentioned in the page for the YUI CSS compressor, which removes white space "not required for the CSS to work": http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/css.html
Please reply back if you can document the line length issue.

I know that some browsers/systems have issues with really long lines in files and wanted to get some opinions about removing all line breaks from a CSS file to conserve space. I've seen some optimizers that give the option NOT to remove them, but don't explain why.
