Re: Maximum list size [was Re: Sifting a list sans loop]

At the end of January a thread started about the length of lists. It broke
around 4060+ items. The problem is when you do a very simple splitting of a
long text with the command

set mText to (characters 1 to 5000 of mFullText) as string

I get that stack overflow error

Is this bug going to get fixed or do we have to split our result into
partial lists that are smaller that breaking point of around 4000 items?

? Another question
one about coercion
under applescript 1.6 it worked to coerce styled text to a clear string with
the command

set mClearString to string mStyledText

under 1.8 or 1.7 it stopped working.
Can somebody tell me how I can do this
