Comment 0 for bug 73420

We occasionally issues like OOPS-329C111 , where a user has dumped a huge
chunk of text into a text area, which we accepted, but are unable to render.

We should modify the text-to-html method to truncate its input to some large
but still sane upper limit as a safety net for those cases where we have
neglected to place an upper bound on the size of user input.

We should make it easy to set an upper limit on all our Text and String
schema fields (if it isn't already there), and set a large but still
renderable default (either by modifying all the interfaces, by monkey
patching, or adding a default setting upstream).
