Comment 1 Tom Knight (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-07 06:54:33 UTC 
This is due to certain characters in the topic title, in the thread mentioned above it is the " quote character. What happens is that phpBB replaces some characters so the topic title is converted from 'kernel message "irq 6 nobody cared" when floppy is' to 'kernel message "irq 6 nobody cared" when floppy is'. The 60 character limit is imposed after the conversion takes place.
