Description Vladimir 2013-01-27 09:11:35 UTC 
Problem description: Application terminates itself on string concatenation, if length of result string is expected to be > 64K

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run the example (sub):

'----------------------------------------

Sub Error__String__Concatenation__Application_crashes

	Dim aLength as Long
	Dim aString as String
	
	aString="1"

	While Len(aString)<100000
	
		aString=aString & aString
		
	WEnd 'aLength<1000000
	
	MsgBox Len(aString)

End Sub 'Error__String__Concatenation__Application_crashes

'----------------------------------------



Current behavior:
Application terminates itself.

Expected behavior:
Application reports about an error.
