I have encountered a quite strange problem which occurs more or less consistently whenever I try to post an entry longer than about 500 words. The text gets broken at a certain point (not exactly after a certain number of characters, but somewhere in the middle) and continues with a duplication of another part of the text from an earlier position in the same entry. All the text eventually gets included, but it looks more or less like this:

Text of paragraph 1
Text of paragraph 2
Text of paragraph 3
Text of paraof paragraph 2
Text of paragraph 3
Text of paragraph 4

In the above example, the error occurred in paragraph 4: in the middle it just jumped to display some text from paragraph 2. At the end of the post, also the paragraph 4 was intact.

I have encountered the problem both with version 0.9.2 and version 1.8.1 to which I just upgraded today. I have tried several different browsers (even on different operating systems) so the problem does not seem to be browser related.

However, it may be related to software versions used by my web host, because I have not been able to reproduce the problem on my own computer, which runs a bit different versions of Apache, php and mysql. Here's the info from my web host:

Apache/2.0.47 (Unix)
MySQL 5.0.18
PHP/4.3.10
MySQL Client API version: 3.23.49

Has anyone else encountered the same problem? Do you have any ideas what I should do to fix it? It's quite annoying because if I want to post a longer entry in my blog the only solution I've found is to hack the post contents field directly in the database.

I do use a customized skin but I haven't modified the b2evolution code in any other way.

P.S. I'm on the road and cannot read my emails every day (sometimes not even every week), but if you have suggestions or additional questions I'll try to answer as soon as possible.
