In testing the resolution of a WINE bug [ http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27912 ], I discovered that this crashes MUSHclient 4.89:

OpenBrowser("http://www.123456.com/78901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012")


Modern browsers and web servers allow URLs much larger than that.

On what operating system? It seemed to work OK under Windows. Also I can't see any particular limit in OpenBrowser.

Interesting. I'll test with Windows 7 later. I was using Fedora 19 with Wine 1.6. I assumed it couldn't be Wine crashing, but I could be very wrong.
