POV 3.5b4 on PII 233 128 MB with NT4Sp6
first bug is within documentation
I remember that long time ago Ron or somebody promised on news that
there will be ulimited length of strings - than why there is in the
documentation sentence "String literals begin with a double quote mark
'"' which is followed by up to 256 characters"
To check this I've declared variable with 340 characters and it was
parsed ok.
To check again I wrote little script
#local S="A"
#local Counter=0;
#while(Counter<20)
#local S=concat(S,S)
#local Counter=Counter+1;
#end
and it was parsed ok, too
but when I added #warning S
at end of it povray... disappeared
and it is second bug - it even not crash, just no povray on desktop or
taskbar

NT does that sometimes. It's still a crash.

I have no recollection of anybody ever making that promise for POV-Ray 3.5.
The dcoumentation is correct.

Hmm, I should really not make promises in such a general way :-(
In a lot of cases strings can really be infinite 9limited by memory), but
there are some practical limits, too. In your particular case it a plain
old buffer overflow in a (s)printf. So the string can be infinitely long,
but you can't print it. Of course it should not crash. However, you will
be able to use it for the text object.
