And then what happens?

How many characters do you convert before that point?

What does this "format conversion" do?

That's okay, you've determined where it is, plus or minus 50 characters. You
know that everything is fine up to some mystery N characters, then you add
100 characters and something mysterious happens, so the breaking point has
to be in the range N+1 to N+100.

Huh? How can it fix itself? What do you mean "gets truncated"? I would start
by looking at the code of this "format conversion" and see what it does.

What does the print statement got to do with this? Above, you say that the
problem is the mystery "format conversion".

Perhaps if you show us some working code that demonstrates the problem,
instead of talking in vague generalities, we might be able to suggest a
solution.
