Creating a poll with lengthy answer encounters 500 response

[tdreid]

Expected behavior

• A user is able to create a poll with one or more lengthy answers
• If there is a limit to the length of answers and a new poll exceeds it:
  • The user is informed and the attempt fails gracefully
  • Ideally the length of the answer is validated client side and the user may be informed before attempting to submit

Actual behavior

• If a poll is created with at least one very long answer a partially broken poll is created:
  • The user encounters a 500 response upon submitting the poll
  • The user encounters a 500 response if attempting to edit the poll
  • The poll may appear to the creating user on dpoll.xyz, but not on Steemit, steemd, etc.
  • On dpoll.xyz any shorter answers will be listed on the poll, but the lengthy answer will not appear

How to reproduce

1. Create a new poll.
2. Add Question and Description.
3. Add some brief answers (e.g. Yes, No, Maybe)
4. Add a lengthy answer option. (e.g. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin a molestie lectus, vel scelerisque velit. Nunc ultricies, turpis in ullamcorper lobortis, augue mauris viverra velit, vitae rhoncus metus nisl vel purus. In non auctor lacus, eget finibus orci. Donec a viverra dui. Nunc nec neque lectus. Praesent in ipsum at.)
5. Submit the poll

Good catch.

I need to reproduce the issue to see the logs what causes it. We need also a transactional approach in case the broadcasting to the STEEM blockchain fails.
