David Watson <bai...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: I've opened a separate issue for the changing-length problem (issue #9647; it affects 2.x as well). Here is a patch that fixes the 255-byte issue only, and has similar results to the 2.x code if the value changes length between calls (except that it could raise a UnicodeError if the string is truncated inside a multibyte character encoding).
