After some testing, the limit seems to be 64k. It only happens when
reading data that was copied to the clipboard by a Windows program (in
this case Excel).
Steps:
- Open attached file in Excel
- Ctrl-a to select all, ctrl-c to copy to clipboard
- Then:
582 $ getclip >out.gc
583 $ cat /dev/clipboard >out.cat
cat: /dev/clipboard: Bad address
584 $ wc /dev/clipboard
wc: /dev/clipboard: Bad address
400 13526 65536 /dev/clipboard
585 $ ls -la out*
-rw-r--r--+ 1 jhetzler Domain Users 65536 Jun 14 23:03 out.cat
-rw-r--r--+ 1 jhetzler Domain Users 73922 Jun 14 23:03 out.gc
This is 1.7.20 on 64-bit Windows 7 and Excel 2013.
Does that help?
Yours,
Jeremy Hetzler
