Well... we could start a thread on that matter but we dont have time, I 
find some real exceptional cases in my programming life, specialy in my 
glueware legacyware programming.
Suppose you use zope to migrate legacy databases and suppose you find 
yourself with a legacy table with 400 fields, there you must start your 
brain in high creative mode and with default value infinite on patience 
variable :-)

Thanks for you help Andy, but I'm positive certain by the debug I'm making 
that if I pass 255 parameters its ok, once I pass the 256th the error begin 
to arise, I have measures to certify there
is no character encode problem, that was the first thing I checked.

Make this test: create a python script and copy the code below into it and 
try to "save changes"
you get the error. take out one parameter and hit "save changes" again you 
will be able to save the document with no errors.
