Description: tsearch2 index should not bomb out of 1Mb limit
Details:

I have been experimenting with indexing the FreeBSD mailinglist into a
tsearch2 powered/backended database.

Sometimes I see these warning:

NOTICE: word is too long to be indexed
DETAIL: Words longer than 2047 characters are ignored.

That's okay, I can live with that. However, I see this one too:

ERROR: string is too long for tsvector

Ouch. But... since very long words are already not indexed (is the length
configurable anywhere because I don't mind setting it to 50 characters), I
don't think that it should bomb out of this but print a similar warning like
"String only partly indexed".

I'm still trying to determine how big the message it failed on was...
