I'll do what I can to help on this...
Do you have access to SPSS v16/v17 ? If so, could you generate some
system files with different length value labels? A sample file with
labels of lengths in the range [1,60], [61, 120], [121, 255] and [256,
infty] would be great.
Post them here or on the savannah pspp page.
Thanks,
