Your message name is longer than 11 characters. Because of the way user
mesages are stored in the engine, message names are limited to 11 chars
plus the nul terminator. If you try to create a message longer than
that, then you'll trash the next usermessage or message handler pointers.

The name of the message (PerfectDarkMessage) is probably too long.
There was something like a 12 character limitation in HL1.
Try a shorter one, and see if that fixes it.

it 14 characters! ;)
