I agree with LanceDeeply.
A too-large text column was the first thing I thought of when I saw this node, since I've had the same experience. Couple that with the fact that it used to work but no longer does, and that points to the data as well...
Here's the code I use to take care of this:
#
# Increase the max size of the text fields retrieved, also prevent us
# from quitting when we over-step our bounds.
#
$dbh->{LongReadLen} = 1000;
$dbh->{LongTruncOk} = 1;
Good luck.
