Wkix32 crashes when you pass a large parameter string (> 250 chars) to a script from the commandline.

I.e:

wkix32 myscript.kix $parameter="aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."

When $parameter is more then about 250 characters long, wkix32 crashes.
I've tested this with 4.51, 4.52 and v4.53 beta 2 on Windows XP SP1 and SP2 and with all wkix32 versions the result is the same.

No problems found with kix32.exe.

Whis is one short of 255. Smells like an input buffer defined to a max of 255 chars.

DOS used to have a command line limit of 256 Characters. I do not know if this is still true or not.

but...
the point is, kix32.exe is a console program.
wkix32.exe ain't.

there is something wrong in it's commandline input routines, which btw are not even ruud's but windows api's take care of those too.

In short: cause found and fixed. The fix will be included in the next build of 4.53.

Good catch, thanks!
