 Wow, in 2 years you were not able to make option_name a varchar(255)... I
 tried to use get_transient and set_transient, but I got stuck by this
 "feature".

 As reported also in http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15058 with
 transient values the limit is 45 characters, and if you use hashes and
 long identifiers to avoid collisions it's quite easy to reach the limit.

 Please excuse me for this rant, but developing WordPress plugins using its
 APIs sometimes is frustrating.
