      Try connecting to a replica set (an imaginary one will do, as the error will terminate execution before any real connections are attempted) with enough members in it that it exceeds the 250-char limit currently in place.

      E.g. mongo --host my-test-replica-set/appserver1.datacenter1.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver2.datacenter1.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver3.datacenter1.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver1.datacenter2.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver2.datacenter2.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver3.datacenter2.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver1.datacenter3.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver2.datacenter3.areallylongdomainname.com,appserver3.datacenter3.areallylongdomainname.com

      Please patch the mongo shell to remove the artificial 250 char limit for the --host argument. Users with many-member replica sets and longer hostnames can currently exceed that length.

      Note from Benety Goh: Any patch should also cover the v8 version 3.25 v8 files (just v8-3.25_db.cpp it seems a.t.m.).
