 The 'taxonomy' field of the 'term_taxonomy' table is VARCHAR(32), ie
 truncated at 32 characters. But create_taxonomy() doesn't fail when you
 try to create a taxonomy with a unique name longer than this.

 The effects are that terms can be added to 'terms' table along with
 corresponding entries in 'term_taxonomy', but that these can't be read
 back again. The taxonomy appears in the admin menus, but appears to be
 totally empty.
