Package: egroupware
Version: 1.2.106-2.dfsg-1
Severity: important

I've noticed that when synchronizing a Funambol client, lot of text in
some fields will make the server crap out with an SQL error since it try
to put a string longer than varchar 64 into a database field.  I have
not checked all fields, but this one typically happens with the address
field when people use cut'n'paste in Outlook and just paste an entire
adress into the first address line.

I am actually wondering what would be the correct behaviour here.  Just
silently trunkating the string isn't really ideal either.  I reckon the
best solution would actually be to change the database field -
preferably to "text" (if using PostgreSQL) - and I reckon this goes for
most of the fields actually.  Storage is CHEAP these days.

This is most certainly an upstream bug - so please forward.
