"[property value too long]" is included in portlist

Example: ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.8_x86_64-watcher/builds/1620

Notice [property, value, too and long] are in the portlist. The string seems to have been split on whitespace and then inserted into a set, resulting in the random order.

Fortunately it doesn't seem to cause any problems beyond mpbb list-subports complaining that ports by those names don't exist in the index.

I've seen this [property value too long] before but I didn't think anything of it; I thought it was just a display issue, as in too long to display on the web page. But apparently it's a deeper problem than that. Does that mean that the full list of ports that I submitted to be built there didn't actually get built?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

No, it looks complete.

Instead, what probably happened is that I inadvertently submitted a list of ports that included the string [property value too long]. This build was a rescheduling of hundreds of builds that had failed on this builder because its disk was full. Some of the builds that failed were forced builds, so I could not just go by the list of files modified by the commits. So instead I built the port list for this build by downloading the html for each failed build and parsing out its fullportlist. I did notice that one of the builds had too many ports to list, and said [property value too long], but that this build made a change that didn't require a rebuild, so I had ignored it.
