The breaking up of a large TXT record in a zone file would look like this:

mail._domainkey   IN   TXT "foo" "bar baz" "blivit"

...which would be treated by libdkim as "foobar bazblivit" (i.e. the 
substrings are simply concatenated).  However, libdkim does expect every 
TXT reply to be a complete record.  To wit, the nameserver is free to 
return those TXT records in any order, and libdkim has no idea how to 
reassemble them in that case.  The words in quotes in that example can't 
each exceed 255 characters, but the record as a whole can by having more 
than one of those strings in it.

Unfortunately it sounds like AT&T's software provides a pretty serious 
limitation.  Fortunately smaller keys (e.g. 512 bits) do fit inside a 
single TXT character string; you're just limited to those smaller keys 
until they either remove the limitation or you delegate your _domainkey 
subdomain to a nameserver over which you have more direct access.

Were you able to get any evidence of a crash of the filter?
