Unfortunately we're going to need more detail than that to reproduce it.
The crash is because of a large value passed down to zwcwrite().  We're
likely to need to know what line was on screen before (the contents of
the array pointed to by ol in stack level 1 and its length ollen) and
what it's trying to put on screen (the contents of the array nl and its
length nllen).  Note the arrays will be wide character strings.  If it's
reproducible with these two lines we have a chance of fixing it.
