Limitation of evalstring and ML text field

Hi,

I have written a GUI where I let the users to write/paste skill script in a ML text field. I see people pasting very large text files inside the field. This concerns me. I want to know when does this method break? Which one overflows first? The ML field or evalstring/errset?
