According to the proposed RFC for avahi TXT records, the maximum size
can be up to 65535 long. I have TXT records that are much smaller than 
that but when starting avahi-daemon, I get:

Failed to add service 'blahhostname' of type '_mysql._tcp', ignoring
service group (/services/dbservices)

This is on:
CentOS 5.5

with:
avahi-0.6.21-10
avahi-compat-libdns_sd-0.6.21-10
avahi-glib-0.6.21-10
avahi-tools-0.6.21-10
avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel-0.6.21-10

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Mike Jones
