Uh oh. My fault. You hit a bug. This happens in org.apache.fop.render.ps.PSStream.java. I think I read somewhere that a single line of PostScript code shouldn't contain more than 256 characters. That's probably why I wrote that check. But unfortunately, I can't find the reference anymore.
A work-around is to fetch the FOP 0.20.5 sources, remove the check from PSStream.java and recompile the whole thing. If your PostScript RIP doesn't choke on lines longer than 256 characters you've won. If that doesn't work, we need to find out why this happened. In this case you'd have to send an XSL-FO document that reproduces the bug. One immediate way to narrow down the search: Use -d on the FOP command line and send the stacktrace. But it probably won't be enough.
