Charlton,

I'm not aware of problems in OGR in general or with the csv driver with large
string field values.  If there is an issue in MapServer it might be in the
expression evaluation or template substitution, but as far as I know there
isn't a problem with populating mapserver features with large attribute
(items[]) values.

I think you need to file a bug with detailed (minimal) steps to reproduce
the problem.  You can add me (userid warmerdam) as a cc if you wish.

Best regards,
