You should get yourself a real terminal. Even Ubuntu hides xterm away somewhere.
Seriously, can you reproduce it in xterm? I can't, it's happily
letting me paste in a 200k query with lines over 300 bytes long.
What application are you pasting this text from? copy/paste in X
requires the application you're pasting from to be surprisingly
involved in the paste operation so perhaps it's behaving oddly.
Also, what version of readline, X, gnome-terminal, and whatever
application you're pasting from are you using?
