The current limit of a line's length is roughly 1K (1024 characters). I assume you allocate a static array with a fixed length of this size. Really I dunno. I know binary variables aren't a solution since you can't pass by reference (which is bad when working with a large amount of data).

I simply ask... at least increase the line length limit by a factor of 10. PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

Your first statement is wrong...

The line length in 6.32 is roughly 4k. If you're using 6.31, upgrade, you'll see that you've instantly gotten half of your request. Fair compromise.

I didn't know about the increase. And I still wanna know why it still uses static memory allocation. I assume it's the code used with the 16bit memory management where fragmentation was an issue.
its prob because mIRC doesn't wanna take up any more RAM, it uses a lot of it
