I think there's a problem in NSString formating functions.
Many times, I've got problems using NSLog/NSDebugLog when the arguments are 
long strings, may be something like:
NSLog(@"a: %@",a)
when a is > 2000 or 2000 characters.
In fact I get problem when logging objects containing themselves other objects 
which also contains... I think It's not a
recursion problem but a buffer problem.

Is there known limitations (i.e.limitation described in specifications or other 
document) ?



In NSString initWithFormat: locale: arguments: there's a fixed size: f.size = 
100
In GSFormat (FormatBuf_t *s, const unichar *format, va_list ap,NSDictionary 
*locale) too:
        unichar work_buffer[1000];
        s->buf = NSZoneMalloc(s->z, 100*sizeof(unichar));
        s->size = 100;
        size_t nspecs_max = 32; 
        if (len < 8192...

Dynamic resizing seems to be implemented:
        /* Maybe the buffer is too small.  */
        if (MAX (prec, width) + 32 > sizeof (work_buffer) / sizeof (unichar))
          workend = ((unichar *) alloca ((MAX (prec, width) + 32)
                                        * sizeof (unichar))
                     + (MAX (prec, width) + 32));
