[comp.sys.atari.st] Bug in GFA BASIC 2.0 interpreter

I just found a bug in the GFA BASIC (Ver. 2.0) Interpreter.  When run
from a shell with environment variables set and the environment string
is greater than ~280 bytes, an address error message will display when
attempting to display alert boxes.  Apparently the interpreter copies
the environment string and if too long it will overwrite some code.

The version of the interpreter I have is 2.027.
