I don't think the limit is 24 characters.

I cannot reproduce this.  I cut and paste it:

irb(main):007:0> s="asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfppppppppppppppppppppppppasdfasdf"
=> "asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfppppppppppppppppppppppppasdfasdf"
irb(main):008:0> s1="ppppppppppppppppppppppppasdf"
=> "ppppppppppppppppppppppppasdf"
irb(main):009:0> s.include?(s1)
=> true
