Strangest Emacs Bug I've ever seen |

This is a screen+emacs bug. For whatever reason, it truncated "kbr" when
pasting into Emacs.
Been using Emacs Console for years (inside Screen). I often copy/paste into
emacs buffer.
If I open emacs editor with:
Emacs test.pl
Then I paste the following text into the emacs console window:
eWRvbWFpbjCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEAyZkbrbuq7a4Z1Ato
Only the following gets pasted:
eWRvbWFpbjCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEAyZbuq7a4Z1Ato
I have tested this on emacs in Redhat 9, all the way up to emacs running on
CentOS 5.6
The same will happen with this text:
YEAyZkbrbuq7a4Z1Ato
The "kbr" gets truncated.
I've looked for control characters, etc, but have found nothing. Here is a
block from Microsoft Notepad:
VQQDEw9Gb3J0LUZ1bnN0b24gQ0ExITAfBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWEm1lQG15aG9zdC5t
eWRvbWFpbjCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEAyZkbrbuq7a4Z1Ato
iPETp5Ds6OJWwsCGX5LK6FzDj7e8vA298OiXolOME2I9p7LvXtwUfFSCJH+VGWNE
If you paste that into emacs, the middle line is truncated.
I do not even see how this is possible.
Anyway, I thought I would let you know, I've definitely stumbled across
something very very strange.
Thanks for such an awesome editor, compiler, does-everything-I could ever
need program,,,

It's been 7 weeks without a reply from the original poster, which
makes it hard to make any further progress here. I'm therefore
closing this bug. If anyone can reproduce this, please reopen.
