template URL

The "Remember values as bookmarkable template" gave me the attached URL. Trying to open it results in Error 414.
"Request-URI Too Large
The requested URL's length exceeds the capacity limit for this server."

If the fields' size limits aren't exceeded, I'd expect the bookmark to work.

Apache's max URL length is 8190 bytes. Seeinclude/httpd.h, for DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_LINE, that describes how LimitRequestLine can set a LOWER limit, but not raise it beyond the 8190 byte limit. We'd have to recompile Apache with and explicitly higher limit. Also, many of the browsers will break long before the Apache limit.

I think you really shouldn't have your entire emerge --info output in there, because it's extremely likely to be out of date when you actually file a bug.

Other than that, take it up w/ upstream Bugzilla to save personal bug templates in the database.
