There is no known issue with WMS 1.1.1 Capabilities, for instance the 
following WMS uses MS 4.2 and works:

http://dev1.dmsolutions.ca/cgi-bin/mswms_gmap?version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities

It could be that something specific to your data crashes the MapServer 
binary during the generation of the Capabilities, that would explain the 
truncated output. However there is not much we can do to help unless you 
can file a bug with a testcase to reproduce.
