Crash when copying to clipboard from virtual XP

Hi. Thought I should report an odd bug. When I'm running Win XP inside a virtual machine, I'm getting a strange crash. I've duplicated it multiple times now.

The steps to cause the crash where:

1) View a page I'm debugging in internet explorer

2) Select View Source

3) CTRL-A to select all

4) CTRL-C to copy to clipboard

5) Click (outside the Virtual Machine window) on my dreamweaver icon in the dock to switch back to dreamweaver

Parralels instantly dies, and I have to restart it and boot my XP again.
 
I had the same thing happen to me.

I was using Matlab in Win2000 SP4 within the VM. As soon as I did a ctrl-c to copy, the VM died.
I wasn't on-line at the time so it's not clear to me how to send the log that was dumped after I re-booted the VM.

I am presuming that anything over a certain size will cause the error - I'm going to try to avoid this until I see anything about this issue being resolved.

I recognize that somewhere in the docs was a stated limitation on the size of the shared copy/pate buffer.
