nodereference autocomplete text too short

Now I have a site running news stories, some stories have long titles for about 125 chars. However, the nodereference module for some reason only accepting the first 128 chars. Makes the node being not able to be referenced. Every time you save, it disappears.

And I cannot find anywhere the #maxlength = 128 was set. If I set it in nodereference_autocomplete_process(), it makes an error every time I'm saving and still cannot change the #maxlength value.

A node title seems to be capable of 255 chars long so I think it's really a bug
