freenode.net allows topics to be up to 450 characters, but mIRC truncates at 390. Example:

[17:05:34] * Topic is 'Welcome to #FreeBSD || For technical support please help yourself: www.freebsd.org/handbook and www.google.org/bsd || http://lists.freebsd.org for information on the mailing lists || From 9/7 to 9/13 100% of the money from purchases at FreeBSDMall.com go towards the FreeBSD Foundation || The RELENG_4 (4.x-STABLE) branch is 4.9-PRERELEASE, this is a normal part of the release cycle || We''

/debug shows the full topic:

[17:05:34] <- :brunner.freenode.net 332 Ashkrynt #freebsd :Welcome to #FreeBSD || For technical support please help yourself: www.freebsd.org/handbook and www.google.org/bsd || http://lists.freebsd.org for information on the mailing lists || From 9/7 to 9/13 100% of the money from purchases at FreeBSDMall.com go towards the FreeBSD Foundation || The RELENG_4 (4.x-STABLE) branch is 4.9-PRERELEASE, this is a normal part of the release cycle || We'll help you to help yourself

It's still there in 6.1 (You have to be in the channel for it to truncate)

Confirmed. Typing /topic #channel <long topic> gets "less" truncated than doing it from channel central, but both get truncated.

And 005 from the network is:
zelazny.freenode.net dancer-ircd-1.0.32 aAbBcCdDeEfFGhHiIjkKlLmMnNopPQrRsStUvVwWxXyYzZ0123459*@ bcdefFhiIklmnoPqstv
MODES=4 MAXCHANNELS=20 NICKLEN=16 USERLEN=10 HOSTLEN=63 TOPICLEN=450 KICKLEN=450 CHANNELLEN=30 KEYLEN=23 CHANTYPES=# PREFIX=@+ CASEMAPPING=ascii CAPAB IRCD=dancer are available on this server

So it is definately mIRC.

Ahh, sorry. I have my own scripted topic events, and it shows all 450 chars.
But even then, $chan(chann).topic returns truncated one frown.

I think there was similar issue with part reasons, which was fixed in 6.1.
