I´m not very good at programming, rather a newbie, nut I had this error message once when I was learning to program in C++. I tried to assign a very long text separeted by a "*" to a single var of type TEXT, which I wanted to split manualy, just to see how it works. As I´m using Linux 6.2 I compiled it with gcc. Afterwards I gave up learning C++. A week ago a friend of mine had a similar problem with his mysql database. And he told me he had to use LONG_TEXT as var type. So I tried the same with my little test program and it worked. The same worked in a little program written in Visual Basic 6. (I know it's a fucking language, but it is easy to learn and it is sufficient to me) I don't know if i could help you, but this problem is well know to dos edit and windows notepad users. maybe you used a compiler/linker based on the one from Borland without knowing.
