I have seen this too.

Soji answered already how to adjust it, but here's a query to find the
longest ones. I think in the past it might not have thrown an error on
long names and just truncated them, we had to clean up some at one
point.

  SELECT LENGTH(name_list) as name_len, name_list FROM list_table \
  ORDER BY name_len DESC LIMIT 10;
