[ROOT] Error in <TPostScript::Text>: too many characters ...

Hi ROOT friends,

I am getting the following error while saving an eps file
with the line:

    gPad->SaveAs(epsFile);

Error in <TPostScript::Text>: too many characters in input string (505)
Error in <TPostScript::Text>: too many characters in input string (505) 

As far as I can tell, the problem is that the string describing
the tree selection used to fill this histogram is very long, actually
gDirectory()->ls() shows it (just the relevant fraction printed out):

TROOT*          Rint    The ROOT of EVERYTHING
 OBJ: TH2F      srhist  ((time>1009872000 && time<1015977600)*scaler1_16
+ (time>1009872000 && time<1015977600)*scaler1_17 + (time>1009872000 &
& time<1015977600)*scaler1_18 + (time>1009872000 &&
time<1015977600)*scaler1_19 + (time>1015977600 &&
time<1016726400)*scaler1_16 + (time>10159
77600 && time<1016726400)*scaler1_17 + (time>1015977600 &&
time<1016726400)*scaler1_18 + (time>1015977600 &&
time<1016726400)*scaler1_19 + (tim
e>1016726400 && time<1262332800)*scaler1_16 + (time>1016726400 &&
time<1262332800)*scaler1_17 + (time>1016726400 &&
time<1262332800)*scaler1_18
 + (time>1016726400 && time<1262332800)*scaler1_19):time 
{time>1015340968 && time<1017932968 && ( (time>1009872000 &&
time<1016726400) ) } : 0

and it cannot print it in the eps file. In fact the plot is fine,
but that text box is empty.

Should I worry about it? Actually, I'd like anyway to get rid of that
box in the plot where the tree selection criteria are written. Is there
an option to tell root not to draw it?

Thanks,

Vuko
