[support] Adding a field to my View deletes all fields in the view.

[Steven Scotten]

Looking at the views_display table, I see that my default display  
before I add the 79th field is a BLOB of 65,328 bytes. After I add the  
79th field the blob is 65,535, which is a number many of you will find  
significant.

The thing is, I'm not sure where this 64K limit is. It doesn't appear  
to be in the BLOB field—the limit there should be in the gigabytes,  
not the kilobytes.

I'm starting to get that creeping suspicion that I should be filing  
this as a bug, but I've had that feeling before and have been wrong.


Thoughts?
