Madhura,
see Documentation.html, FAQ 1.38. You might want to add a suggestion
there about suhosin.get.max_value_length.

As you can deduce from this FAQ entry, it was not our intention to adapt
to Suhosin's limits.


Hi Marc,

Thank you for the lead given to find what exactly the bug was when I was clueless about it. My apologies for missing it in the initial mail.
Yes, I will add a comment to the FAQ and mark the bug as wont fix.
