Comment:
Yes, I've hit that several times myself. It's annoying. syncdb crashes
because it tries to create a permission with a name that's longer than 50
characters.
Possible solutions:
- improve the error message
- display a warning and truncate the value
- increase the size of the field to 200 characters (insert usual rant
about lack of migrations in core here)
