The size limit is ITEM_LABEL_LENGTH (240).  I'm not comfortable changing that
and anyway how big would we really have to make it?  Actually it's interesting
that the 240 char array is actually dynamically allocated.  Given that a vast
majority of representations won't be nearly that long I wonder how much memory
we could save by dynamically allocating just enough memory.

Anyway I agree silent truncation is really bad;  Wireshark was indicating
truncation for but only if the dissector didn't specify how to format the
representation. I fixed that in rev 24593.
