Raphael, please add a check in ncf-builder to ensure that any fields with > 2000 characters cannot be extended, and display the following error message to the user: "Fields over 2000 characters are currently not supported. Please insert your content into a file, and copy it with a file_copy_* method, or use a template."

Classes conditions are also cut at 2048 when parsed (and hit the concat() max argument length at 4096 when writting a longer one).

Technique names should be kept quite short, because the name is used in the filename, which should be compatible with all filesystems.

For most systems the limit is around 255, and we need room for the extension. It may be a migration issue though, because some people may use names that are around the limit on some filesystems.

We should not break their installation, as it is not possible to change the same that has be given at creation, opening another ticket for this issue.
