No, mostlikely your telnet program bites it, because your in 'line mode' 
and a line that long just isn't "normal".

The mud stays up

However, even if the telnet program doesn't bite it, the mud will 
truncate it

Line too long.  Truncated to:
kill 
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
They aren't here.

to avoid it with bug reports maybe have it do similar to when you write 
on boards when you typo/bug/idea something
although would make logs quite big
