The automatically created blocks for lists of upcoming events throw an error if the node type name is too long. It looks like the delta field is a varchar(32) so having a content type with a name of more than 17 characters will result in an error (b/c 'events-upcoming-' is 15 characters). Not sure what the ideal solution is here. For now I'll just have to change the name of the content type.

Interesting bug. I am not sure what I should do with it. Should I exempt node types with long names from generating blocks?

Hrm... If you can't increase the allowed size of the field in the database, maybe you could hook into the content type creation form and warn the user if they enter a long name of their forthcoming frustration. :)
