I heard of the 253 limitation of the Radius protocol - but that should have no 
bearing on the length of the query (the query itself never goes over the wire 
to the radius client).

Were in the code you modified it? Can you prepare a patch? (or give me 
directions) Shortening the table/column names can only be a temporal 
solution, as my queries are bound to become more complex, and if the 
restriction if indeed relationed with the length of the response, perhaps we 
should open a bug report and submit a patch... and get a working system while 
it gets merged.

Thanks for your time,
