    Outch - I can.

    Having  an  index  on a varlen field that now doesn't fit any
    more into an index block. Wouldn't this cause problems?  Well
    it's  bad  database  design to index fields that will receive
    that long  data  because  indexing  them  will  blow  up  the
    database but it must work anyway.
