SYMPTOMS
When you view a channel that has a very long filtering expression, the filtering expression may be truncated to 512 characters. You can create a channel that has a long expression. However, after you create the expression, it may become truncated and then saved when you view or edit the channel properties. Because the XPath expression is now incomplete, this problem may cause your application to fail.

After you apply this hotfix, there is a supportable limit of 1024 characters for the filtering expression in channel properties.
