I was running the 'perror' command from the bash command line of a Linux system.
That explains it. This is a Windows server, not Linux.
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.
Not using a multi-character character set. This is regular old english (latin, I think it's called?)
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.
InnoDB is the engine I'm using, and searcing the net, I found that there was a problem with InnoDB and this error, but nothing about how to prevent it.
