Comment:

 Attached patch restricts set_transient() only.

 The rest of them aren't necessary -- update_option( $length_65 ) will
 cause the option name to be truncated, but MySQL (at least 5.5.8) will not
 truncate the WHERE clause in get_option( $length_65 ).

 But for transients, the additional timeout prefix will cause a transient
 that's between 45 and 53 to lack any expiration. Luckily, because they can
 expire, then this patch won't do much harm.
