Descriptive Problem Summary:

If you enter a string with 4159+ characters as a command (not as a verb argument), Dream Seeker crashes.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:

1: Open up any game that lets you directly enter a command.
2: Enter a string of text at least 4159 characters long. Any less and nothing happens.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:


Expected Results:

An error comes up saying the command isn't valid.

Actual Results:

Dream Seeker crashes.

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
Every time.
In other games?
It happens in all games.
In other user accounts?
Yes.
On other computers?
I don't have any other computers I can try it on.

When does the problem NOT occur?
It always occurs.

Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
To my knowledge, it has always occurred.


Workarounds:
None.

I tried using a Say verb with a string that was exactly 4159 characters long, and also tried longer strings. I was unable to cause a crash in any of these cases. There may be something about the project or the particular string being used that causes the problem. To know more I will need a demo project to test.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, it happens if you enter the string as a command. If it's entered as a string into a verb, nothing happens.
