The relevant value on my machine seems to be:

/usr/share/sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.2/docbook.dcl:81:          NAMELEN    44

This file belongs to the Gentoo package app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd
4.2-r2, which is the current stable version for the 4.2 slot.

I would hazard to suggest that nobody else is seeing this problem
because I'm the only one building the docs on Gentoo =)

Still, the 44 character limit does seem to be per the upstream
distribution, and the identifier I patched above is the first one to
violate it.  Are there any solid reasons we shouldn't just comply with
it?

Cheers,
BJ
