Very odd. At what point does this crop up? Can you see the full file
in the browser, but not access it from JavaScript past the 4096th byte, or
does it stop loading the file at byte 4096? I can create a static web
page with more than 4096 characters between <pre> and </pre> and Firefox
happily reports the length properly, so I'm guessing your problem has to
do with the dynamic loading of the file . . .
