#1177 ooRexx Interpreter Crash

[Erich]

The code snippet

call lineout copies('x',999)

will crash the interpreter (REXX-ooRexx_4.1.2(MT) 6.03 28 Aug 2012, 64 Bit, Windows 7)

Thanks to Mark Miesfeld here's the initial output from the debugger:

"A buffer overrun has occurred in rexx.exe which has corrupted the
program's internal state. Press Break to debug the program or Continue
to terminate the program."

There are other similar things that will cause the crash. For example:

fsObj = .Stream~new(copies('x', 999))
say 'Name:' fsObj~qualify
