 	$commentdata['comment_date_gmt'] = current_time('mysql', 1);

    find this line:

    $commentdata['comment_agent'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

    remove it and replace it with this line:

    $commentdata['comment_agent'] = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 0, 255);

    and that all needs to be on the same line, copy it off trac if you need to.
