You are using
[ ] DBAL
[ ] multiplyDBFieldSize

If it's DBAL, you need to wait for the fix for
 http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2991

If it is the fieldsize you can wait for the fix on #2991, or not use the
field size multiplier but switch your database to UTF-8, so it takes care
of the byte-vs-char stuff itself.

HTH,
