In message <9212150015.AA27782@postgres.Berkeley.EDU> you write:

this is a known bug in the system; the max length limit is 16 for
storage, but lots of internal routines assume they're passed a
null-terminated string (not true if all sixteen chars are present).
for the time being, you should limit names in postgres to fifteen
chars.
