The way to reproduce this crash looks a bit strange :) The problem is I don't
have a 64-bit-OS to try it out, but after some looking at the source, I think
I found the reason(Something was written into the stream as size_t(64 bit
under 64-bit OS), and read as int(32 bit)).

So please everyone who encountered the crash, try out..

greetings, David
