No, it doesn't, as that function does not impose any length restrictions on strings. The truncation is the result of the way the buffer for the displayable/printable string for a field is allocated; they are fixed-length buffers, allocated from a GLib "memory chunk", and are ITEM_LABEL_LENGTH, or 240, bytes long. See "proto_tree_set_representation()". The way to change the limitation is to change the value for ITEM_LABEL_LENGTH in "proto.c" and recompile.
