I ran into this once. In my case it was caused by a know issue, CR 123363, where escaped quotes in a class will cause an extra backslashes to be added on a save. This will cause the class file to grow until it exceeds the 65523 character limit. Do you have any classes with escaped quotes in them? In my case everything worked fine, all the while the class file was growing and growing. Then one day it got too big and I got the error. If you have classes defined, look at the old ones; they may be the problem.

 

 

The way I got around this was to base64 encode my classes and decode them when I served them up. I used uuencode to encode them and then uploaded them to my units. I used the b64decode function to decode them in my irule. Here is the wiki page for b64decode: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/b64decode.html
