java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The jdk 1.3 documentation for both java.util.Property.list
() methods doesn't mention that both implemenations will
truncate the property value if it's longer than 40
characters. I think this would be useful information for
developers (especially when they are trying to figure out
why all their property values are truncated!!!;-)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. point a web browser at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html#list(java.io.PrintWriter)
2. read the javadoc comment
3. Note that it doesn't say anything about truncation of
values.
4. Scratch head.

This bug can be reproduced always.
