I just set up a new Roundup tracker, and I couldn't
register because the information in my registration was
longer than the 255 characters allocated for otk_value.
This causes a traceback when I try to confirm
registration. Here is the line from mysql with certain
characters changes to x.

mysql> select * from otks;

| A9KXXXXWOwcVhTEovJI5bEjIfeSJ6rFp | {'username':
'epperly', 'phone': 'xxx-xxx-xxxx',
'alternate_addresses':
'xxxxxxxx@llnl.gov\nxxxxxxxxxx@comcast.net',
'realname': 'Tom Epperly', 'address':
'xxxxxxxx@llnl.gov', 'organisation': 'CASC/LLNL',
'password': '{SHA}4249xxx64dd9ea5b65e1f750cabfc190 |

The closing single quote is missing, so the following
traceback occurs.

is the sequence of function calls leading up to the
