If you have a Telus mobility account and you're having trouble logging in to their new "improved" web site, and your username is longer than 15 characters, try just the first 15 characters.
Also, if you use http://guru.com and your username is longer than 12 characters, ditto.
And lastly, if you are a web developer building an account system, or overhauling an old one, and for some reason you feel compelled to impose a length limit on usernames or passwords, please give your users at least a subtle hint that you are doing so, rather than silently mangling their credentials.
