Hi Jesse

I was running the 'perror' command from the bash command line of a Linux 
system. 

A column of type text will allow a maximum of 65'535 characters being 
stored, but this could be less when a multibyte character set is used.

What storage engine type are you using? I found some issues with InnoDB 
regarding this error. Please check the .err log of mysqld as well.
