SparseSeries error out if they're too long

[cyrusmaher]

Whether or not I can create a SparseSeries seems to depend on the length of the series:

pd.SparseSeries([1.] * 10) # works
pd.SparseSeries([1.] * 100) # error

I've copied the error below:

.../miniconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pandas/core/format.pyc in __init__(self, series, buf, length, header, na_rep, name, float_format, dtype, max_rows)

--> 161                 series = concat((series.iloc[:row_num], series.iloc[-row_num:]))
    162             self.tr_row_num = row_num
    163         self.tr_series = series

This is actually a bug in __repr__() or __str__(). If you just create the SparseSeries in a script without printing, it will work.
