FrontEndUser Textareas

Is there a way to remove the 255 character limit on FrontEndUser properties that use textareas?

I was hoping to allow my users to put a paragraph or two about themselves, but as it stands, only 255 characters are allowed.

I think the limit is ignored for text areas.

Oddly, I put more than 255 characters into a textarea and hit submit, the form disappears and it shows the logout template in its place and then deletes the database entries for the textarea(s).  This happens whenever there's a form error (still happens if I reset change settings template to default).  Great, I guess I broke it somehow (EDIT: on the live site, too!).

Also the "data" column in module_feusers_properties is set to varchar(255).

Also, photo is broken when it tries to output the user image.  Shows up as "domain.com/uploads\\3_photo.jpg" for example.
