Win XP crashes when coping more than 3 chinese letters to the clipboard

[Ulrich Reissner]

Running VirtualBox on Suse 10.3, and Windows XP in the Virtual Machine, VirtualBox crashes, when copying more than 3 chinese letters(out of vi, using utf8, running under windows xp german, with chinese language support), to the Shared clipboard. Sometimes it crashes directly when copying to the clipboard, sometimes it crashes when coping the letters out of the clipboard to an aplication on the host system. But it crashes allways the Virtual Machine.

Could you please provide a core dump? See ​http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Core_dump.

Last line of the log file when crashing. 0002:01.346 vboxClipboardConvertUtf8: clipboard conversion failed. RTUtf16ToUtf8Ex() returned VERR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW. Abandoning.

Here, as requested, the core dump. The crash occured when copying four utf-8 encoded Chinese characters to system clipboard in vi.

[Michael Thayer]

Didn't actually find your core dump, but we have managed to reproduce this locally, and have hopefully fixed it in the development source.

it was a problem of a friend, and when he uploaded the core dump he got the erroer message: limit exceeded

Please check if the problem persists with the current version (1.6.2) and reopen if still relevant.
