If you try to make a mailing list called `i-truly-doubt-that-moira-
allow-me-to-create-a-list-with-a-name-that-is-this-long-but-it-should-
be-interesting-if-it-does', the server will dump core. (viz. /core on
sos). [In case you're wondering, I tried this while testing the Mac
moira client I'm writing.]
Some other ops seem to either just deal (for instance, adding an
insanely huge string to a list), or do bounds checking (for instance,
if you try to change the name of an existing list to something huge.)
