Comment (by DD32):

 Replying to [comment:12 firebird75]:
 > The issue is related to the fact that the field is corrupted and the
 field size (as written into the DB) isn't the same as the current field
 size (because it has been truncated) so a fix would be to parse the DB and
 correct the field size so that the error doesn't happen anymore...

 Yes, However it is only truncated as it's written to the databas
 incorrectly, Which is the root cause of the bug.

 For affected items the field would need to be deleted and a new one
 inserted into its place, It'd be impossible to simply 'correct' the value
 if the actual original data is unknown.
