Actually, it looks like it's not so much an issue with the max length for
the URL, as it is for *any* line in bb-hosts.  I started writing an
extension script to do the content checking, and even that is getting the
URL truncated.  The problem appears that everything past 464 characters from
the "#" in the bb-hosts file for any host is discarded.
It shouldn't do that, and I cannot trigger this with a simple test.
Could you send me (off-list) the bb-hosts file you're using ?

Another simple check you can do: In the Hobbit source directory 
hobbit-4.2.0/lib there is a "loadhosts" binary - this is a debugging
tool. You can run it with

   cd hobbit-4.2.0
   ./lib/loadhats /etc/hobbit/bb-hosts HOSTNAME

This should dump the tags found for the host HOSTNAME in bb-hosts.
It would be interesting to see if the entries are also truncated there.

Do the URL's show up correctly on the "info" column page ?
