because the text you pasted (it was just text afterall, a bunch of ascii characters, not code!) probably contained invalid characters or was maybe just too big or whatever.

But again, not all crashes indicate a buffer overflow, and not all buffer overflow errors automatically mean they can be abused.

eg: if I write code for a control and I program it so it reserves some memory to hold the text you pasted (to copy it or whatever) and the text is so long that the memory area I reserve exceeds valid memory bounderies, the code might crash on simply the memory reservation only. This means nothing has even be pasted or whatever to be able to abuse something.


Don't worry about it too much, and if you still do, report it to MS instead.
