You must have had a modified/early bash-2.04 or bash 2.05.  The current 
bash 2.04 distribution has a compiled in limit of 2000 characters on the 
length passed (-l 250 causes the file to be about 3K characters).  This
wasn't a regression in the refresh.

This did point out there was a bug fix in the cvs/2.04 tree on the glob
routine which I had not included in the refresh.  I have updating
the refresh to include this change (and updated the Knowledge Base to
show the changes in the refresh).  I also provide an updated
bash 2.04 which removes the 2000 character limit (which was added to 
prevent triggering the glob bug).  All other binary distributions 
have also been updated.
