Bug of the week

Bug 19157 - too many null-bytes hang the debugger

When filling a variable with lots of null bytes, i.e. numToByte(0), the variable pane in the script editor may hang. The reporter provided very clear description of the problem, with easy-to-follow steps to reproduce and a simple and effective sample stack.
