Maybe your OS gets in the way.

The error message seemed to say that the long string was cut into
several chunks in the middle of a quoted string, so I suggested to
make server-msg-size larger to avoid this, hoping that the string will
be sent in one chunk.  If that doesn't help, I don't know what to
suggest, because I don't understand what's going on.

Can you show the error message(s) you get with the enlarged
server-msg-size?
