gnats 3.113 on UNIX_SV 4.2MP 2.1.3.
Note: Gnatsweb and gnats run on the same machine.
>Description:
A text field paragraph containing more that 512 characters will disappear when the submit-edit is pressed in gnatsweb. 

A paragraph of 512 or greater will survive when the PR is created; but when the PR is edited it will disappear, even if the text field with the long paragraph is not changed. 

When text is added to a paragraph that is originally shorter than 512, the whole paragraph disappears if the resultant size is 512 or greater. 

This happens in Description, How-To Fields, and Fix fields.

(This is similar to the recently closed PR27, but slightly different.)
>How-To-Repeat:
1.  Create a PR with a description of more than 512 characters without any carrage returns.
2.  Edit the Pr, but don't change the original description.
3.  View the PR - the description is gone!
