Hmm.  Are there any long literal strings in your function text?  (Not
sure, but I think "long" may mean "> 256 bytes" in this context.)  If
so, you might be running into a recently-discovered bug in plpgsql.
Try substituting the latest version of pl_funcs.c, see
http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_funcs.c

If that doesn't do it for you, we'll need to see a reproducible test
case.
