The words of destuction.

It seems like pasting this into spring lobby crashes the server:

This problem does not seem to break servers that are running OS that has support for normal charracter sets - like finnish and swedish.

Meaning it might actually be in the libs that TASServer uses.

Here we have another great reason for not using JAVA :D
This starts to seem like so weird weird problem in the classes - yet i will investigate and try to reproduce this on my own :)

I think i am getting bottom of this - its about overflowing the reserved space for a string when unicode is converted into ascii - need to sniff the actual message to the server -

Anyone who has hacker intentions (not retarded script kiddy who copy+pastes random crashing textstring) probably knows what the problem is by now already.


So the question is - would a solution be to force a message to be stored as multiple strings (instead of one), to get around java's allocated char/string space?

Or force the server to split up a message into substrings if it determines that a single string can't hold all the bits that a small string of whatever huge unicode characters need?
