I have been making an adventure map recently, and when I published it to LAN so my friends could play, it returned "Internal exception: java.io.IOException: Received string length longer than maximum allowed (21 > 16)"
I am not sure what the exception means, or even what the string corresponds to. My LAN works for other maps when I publish them (though only through direct connect), but for some reason this map is buggy. Even my backups return the same error.
When making the map, I used Single Player Commands, but when I am publishing the map I am using vanilla.
I haven't added anything that doesn't exist in vanilla, and though I have used MCedit, I know that that works in vanilla as well.
i have the same problem and it is happening only on lan... its a hamachi server because i cant port forward yet it has worked up until i used a command block. i think it has something to do with the length of the command block that is used... and the different parameters typed being longer than 16 letters/digits. i hate this right now and i hope that it is fixed by mojang or there is a property on the server.properties list that can make it work.
PLEASE!!! This is happening to me too! except it is 23>16 instead >;l
I have done some research and it appears to be your user name. I get 17>16 and my user name (e-mail address) is 17 characters (including the @aol.com) Since minecraft has left user names and gone to e-mail, apparently most e-mails are too long with the max being 16 characters. I'm going to see if there is a way to log in with just my user name.
So far it appears to be MY account that is too long, and not my sons acct. I purchased three accounts so my son, me and a visiting friend would all be able to play together legally and easily. So it is rather frustrating that some sort of copy protection scheme is causing us not to be able to play right now because our user names must be less than 16 characters (including email address info)
I tried logging in to minecraft.net and changing my email to a shorter one - some throwaway like [email protected] or something shorter than 16 characters. I logged into mojang and clicked the button asking them to send me an e-mail on how to change my e-mail for the game and it said they send it - but I haven't gotten anything from Mojang. I checked my spam folder too.
I am THINKING that if I could change my account name to something shorter than 16 characters it might solve the issue.

Help?
I moved the map to a new world using MCedit.
I'm going to see if that works.
