Yes:

"Maximum String Length Limit Increased for 32-Bit IDL
Prior to IDL 5.5, 32-bit IDL had a maximum string length limit of 64K (65534
characters) while 64-bit IDL allowed strings to be up to 2.1GB (2147483647
characters) in length. With IDL 5.5, this limit has been raised to 2.1GB for
both types
of IDL."

Though AFAIK it doesn't point out the implications of this for
call_external.
