[Zope] 2.3.2 ZCatalog bug?

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Weird stuff:
Do extremely long strings for field-indexes break ZCatalog?  I tried
creating a field index of 80 characters of text, and noted the following:

- sort_on won't work for that field
- searching on another UNRELATED index (a TextIndex) resulted in fewer
matches than before I added this long field index.

Note: I noted the second issue after reindexing (updating) the catalog; I
changed my code so that I truncated the field (the one indexed) to 10
characters in the python code, instead of 80.  sort_on seemed to work ok,
and a bunch more matches showed up.

Thoughts?
