EVALUATION The total length of a UTF-encoded string is limited to 64k. This is a platform limit. The exception should be caught by the compiler and a friendly diagnostic produced. The offending source code cannot be compiled, however. This is a duplicate of 4071592, now subsumed by 4309152. william.maddox@Eng 2000-07-25
