When using the SQL driver for Turba, the default table sets limits of 25
characters for the home phone, work phone, etc.  However, the HTML entry
form doesn't enforce this through the maxsize attribute.  When the user
attempts to save a record with an entry longer than the maximum allowed, he
only gets the cryptic "DB Error".

To add insult to injury, the default field length for the home phone and
work phone fields are 40 characters, which certainly makes it look like it's
safe to enter more than 40 characters.
