While migrating a horde2 database (including mnemo v1.1) to horde3, I
notice that mnemo2 locks up if any of the notes contain more than about
33.6 KB of text. If there is even one note in several hundred that is
slightly too large, the list of notes will not be generated and the icons
across the top of the page will either stop working (Konqueror), or the
entire icon bar will disappear (Firefox).

In such cases I have found that if I use phppgadmin to edit the offending
text field and reduce it slightly in size, mnemo2 will suddenly start to
work again. It will even allow me to save extra text in the same note
again, after which it will once again cease to function as a result.

Curiously, if I use Konqueror the limit for mnemo2 is a text size of 34606
bytes, with 34607 causing the application to lock up. However, when using
Firefox (Iceweasel) the maximum supported size was 34485 bytes, while for
both Mozilla (Iceape) and Epiphany it was 34489 bytes.

My horde2 system is still running on a Debian sarge machine with
postgresql v7.4.7 and apache-ssl v1.3.33.  So far, I am not aware that
mnemo v1.1 has any such text size limitations. My new horde3 system is on
Debian etch with postgresql v7.4.17 and apache2 v2.2.3. The browsers are on
a workstation running Debian sid.
