On my system it works with or without the -id. I did discover that the
error is related to the string length. If its 63 or less, no problem. If
its 64, crash. If its 65, error message. If its greater than 65, crash.
So perhaps this is some kind of overflow and overwriting something else(my
c skills are out of practice)??

At least this is a known/not unexpected limit, perhaps a note about this
should be added to the documentation. Thanks for the help.
