Back at work.

What i found out:

There's really nothing wrong with the ODBC-DSNs or the descriptions (apart from there being so many on our machines...). When i raise the buffer size of the cmd-window ("dos-box"), the whole list of the 310 DSNs actually appears. But (probably upon returning from some function) the interpreter still crashes.

To make clear: After the complete list is retrieved it crashes. Only when I try to pipe the output to a file (to post here) it does not generate the complete list (eben if i add a "$| = 1").

The longest description is 54 characters wide: /Excel Files/ (11), /Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)/ (54) and should be a standard DSN on windows with office installed.

I am out of ideas for now.
