SeriesTextRecords have a byte text length field that limits the title

read in files containing charts with long titles whereas the data length
of the UnknownRecord is not limited and 3.0.2 had no problems.
POI 3.1 has a little bit more low level charting support.
Page 398 points at page 850 of the excel spec, which clearly states that
the SeriesTextRecord is made up of a single byte length, some flags, and
then the text.
Since excel allows for chart titles longer than 256 characters, I would
presume the 256 character limit imposed by the SeriesTextRecord is a
bug. Is this the case? Is there a work around for this problem?
Can you open a new bug in bugzilla, and upload a file that has a longer
title than 256 bytes? That way we can see what microsoft do to get around
their rather silly restriction of only using 1 byte for the length
