 * The Facebook Plugin by Facebook, uses $post->post_content when building the og:
   description meta tag if there is no custom post excerpt. There is no check for
   the size of the description. This can cause an HTML 414 status when clicking 
   on a share button on posts with large content.
 * I have a path which seems to fix the problem. I’d be willing to make the patch
   available if there is any possibility of a maintenance release of the plugin.
