slug names are clipped; 'save test' doesn't know this and sends you to a 404 page

Description

How to reproduce:
- create a test titled 'object indexing unboxed float64 vs boxed float object member'
- doesn't matter: fill in anything so the form validates
- save test
- see 404 page.

User reaction: jsperf.com crashing? Let's try it again!

While actually the slug got truncated but the form apparently doesn't realize; while you get a 404 page and wonder what the heck is going on, it turns out the test _is_ created, however with a truncated slug. (Go to 'My Tests' overview to see the created test)

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by creating a test with the long title, completing the form, and saving it. Trace the save flow, slug generation, and route handling; done means the form does not send the user to a 404 and the created test remains accessible from My Tests.
