 Replying to [comment:6 Viper007Bond]:
 > but we should make sure WordPress itself isn't generating any query
 strings that are over 255 (there are a couple places it could be).

 If it does, it'll be due to the fact that were're adding whole bunches of
 nonces and the like in the admin area, or due to users who create titles
 of gargantuan length and the like. it'll then be reported as a bug if it
 affects anyone, so closing.
