I suppose it's not a brand new (never updated) installation.

The limit is 32 since at least 4.1 and maybe 4.0.

Before that, my extra-hot-and-complicated-3-lines extension alias32 was 
a cure for that length.  :)

http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/alias32/0.1.0/

My BE form for pages has this (maxlength="32") in the source:

<input type="text" 
onchange="typo3form.fieldGet('data[pages][32][alias]','nospace,alphanum_x,lower,unique','',0,'');TBE_EDITOR.fieldChanged('pages','32','alias','data[pages][32][alias]');" 
maxlength="32" class="formField2" style="width: 96px;" value="" 
name="data[pages][32][alias]_hr">
