 Save as to shapefile for postgis layers with tool long column names
 doens't work.

  1. Load a postgis layer with a column that has more then 10 charactes in
 its name (e.g. archive_date)
  2. save as esri shapefile
  3. The following error appears: [[BR]]

 {{{
 Export to vector file failed.
 Error: created field archive_date not found (OGR error:
 Normalized/laundered field name: 'archive_date' to 'archive_da')
 }}}

  4. The created shapefile is empty

 The expected truncation from archive_date to archive_da in the resulting
 shapefile works (the shp, shx,dbf is created). The dbf shows the truncated
 archive_da but no features are exported.
