All I can come up with at this point is that there may be various ranges of
lengths that can cause the problem.
I don't recall the exact length of the string I was saving, but it
consistently got truncated around the 2K length by fileIO's readFile()
method. I was able to correctly _save_ the list from a variable to a single
line of text as seen in a text editor. Others have reported strings into
the MB lengths with and without seeing this symptom.
I only have one project (in the archives now) that uses a list of any
significant length. Since I'm not the only one who saw the symptom I always
mention it. Perhaps someday I'll have the luxury of having enough time pin
it down to predictable steps to repro ;-)
