mIRC seems to limit hash table entries to the line length limit (~4100) counted in
UTF-8 bytes, rather than in characters. Moreover, when it hits the byte-based limit, it will silently truncate the resulting entry.
//var %s = $str($chr(127),4100) | hmake test 10 | hadd -m test test %s | echo -ag $len($hget(test,test)) | :error | hfree test
This piece of code correctly echoes 4100. Increasing to 4140 results in "/hadd: line too long" as expected.
//var %s = $str($chr(128),4100) | hmake test 10 | hadd -m test test %s | echo -ag $len($hget(test,test)) | :error | hfree test
In contrast, this piece of code echoes 2075. No error is thrown.
