There is actually a 64 character limit imposed by the Blocks table, but I was only at 46 characters. So much for my Features naming plan...

Maybe but I thought the limit was 255.  Hmm... maybe the filename
field of the system table.  The limit of the module name field is
varchar 255 and the filename field is varchar 255 so the real limit is
what fits in filename field.

sites/somereallystupidlonghostname.com/modules/somereallystupidlongmodulename/somereallysupidlongmodulename.module
might not work.

Now it could be that the UI has a limitation beyond the DB.  I didn't
check the form element.
