The signature is too long. I would be perfectly fine with truncating it at 255/254 characters: it has more than enough data to be unique.

that was simple...

      if len(processor_notes) > 255:
        processor_notes = '%s...' % processor_notes[:252]

this will appear in 1.7

Does that truncate the signature, or the processor_notes field?

Comment 3

[K Lars Lohn [:lars] [:klohn]]

eh, wrong paste buffer.  That was the code fragment used as the template for the signature change.  If I had copied the right code, it would have looked like this:

if len(reportRow['signature']) > 255:
  reportRow['signature'] = '%s...' % reportRow['signature'][:252]

bugzilla doesn't support 256 character long signatures. please try to truncate closer to 128 or 200
