Another caveat: If you set the desc of an attached root prim, the desc reverts when you detach the object or prim.
Under macOS, the text seems to be restricted to ASCII only
Unlike other functions (llSay, llInstantMessage, etc.), which work with UTF-8, it seems that, at least on the Mac, this function cannot set the description field to non-ASCII characters: any non-ASCII character will be shown as "??" instead.
