Adding text to a GenText using MSG_VIS_TEXT_APPEND_PTR.



Q. I have an application that writes lots of text to a GenText
   object by calling MSG_VIS_TEXT_APPEND_PTR.  After a while
   the system crashes and gives the following message:

   WARNING: FAULTING_IN_VM_BLOCKS
   Death due to TS_LOCK_TEXT_PTR_INVALID_RETURN_VALUE

A. Your text object has gotten larger than 20K.  This is because
   the system only checks to see if a text object has gotten too
   large when the user is entering text.  You should either use a
   VisLargeText object or monitor the amount of data that you are
   adding to the GenText and begin removing old text as the GenText
   fills up.
