The best way around this is to use "create_structure" ;-)

I came across the same problem (actually when porting pv-wave code to idl, when
an unannounced feature of a new idl release was to cut down the max number of
characters in an execute string from 256 to the 131 that it says in the manual!)
and the answer is, don't use execute, use create_structure (does appends too).
