Can you try latest git? I think I fixed this so now the message size can 
be as large as your memory allows. That said, the fix is a bit baffling. 
Every so often there is an A_SEMI or A_COMMA mis-detected at location 
220 inside the binbuf that is to be evaluated, so one simply ignores the 
check whenever $@ is involved. This naturally requires further testing 
to see if there are any regressions. I tested it up to several thousand 
arguments without a crash with a patch batinste posted.

So, the lingering question is why is 220 the golden number? Is this the 
maximum width for a pd script file formatting?

Please test and report (m_binbuf.c is the relevant file). Latest git 
also provides fixes for UTF inconsistency as well as the other problem 
with list objects Roman reported (basically both were patches I missed).

So, as of right now this should cover everything that was reported...

Cheers!
