The RFC for JSON parsers (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt section 4) says, each implementation may choose to limit the length and content of strings. So depending on which browser / version you are using at the moment, you may be hitting the limit.

One portable alternative would be to look at json2. The JS source is found at https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js -- you could use this as-is, or alter it to deal with the length / type of data that's causing your problem.
