 Just like user ID's that are longer than 8 characters, this is a fundamental
  standard in Unix and cannot be extended. The user ID can be extended by
  using a patch but there are so many compatibility issues that the patch
  requires you to acknowledge that is is not supported and that you understand
  the consequences of using long user names. There is no option for this
  in HP-UX. 11.0 simply tightened the checking on group names.
