Specifically, varchar now has a maximum limit of 65535 characters, as does
smalltext.

This is not something that I can fix generically in 1.4, as altering the
size of stack buffers may influence how existing dialplans work.  However,
this should not be a problem in 1.6.2 and later versions, as the buffer
size is dynamically calculated based upon the dataset.

While you are certainly welcome to make this manual change in your own
copy of 1.4, it will not be in an official version.  I would encourage you
to upgrade, if you want variable length column data.
