If you try to print (or echo) a variable string with size larger than 65k, It does not work.
The reason of this is that the engine uses fwrite function with str_length (in this case say it is 155000) so fwrite fails because it uses size_t which is defined as unsigned int (limited to 65k).

Fixed in latest CVS. By the way, size_t on Windows is 32bit so the 64KB limit must be some internal buffer size of the Standard C I/O library of Windows.
