It would be useful if you could tell me what you are copying from.
From x5250? From xterm? Something else? The most likely explanation
that I can think of off the top of my head is that the source of the
copy has some kind of data that x5250 isn't handling well.
I would really like to reproduce your problem here.

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.
