I think it was plain text from gvim.  I was trying to paste an SQL statement in to avoid retyping it.

I first tried copying the whole thing, multiple lines.  When it crashed on paste, I went with just one line thinking it might be confused on the range of paste.  Even one line caused the crash.  I don't remember if I counted characters to make sure it would fit, though.  I know the STRSQL screen doesn't have 80 characters for typing on each line.
