The Kotlin compiler is blowing up with an unusual exception if I try to compile a file with a ~2300 multi-line pretty printed JSON string. Is there a known limitation on the max number of lines that a multi-line string supports in Kotlin? Update: Trying to cut (cmd-x) this string out of IntelliJ has caused intelliJ to hang. Update: The hang is reproducible after restart of IJ. I might report this issue privately in youtrack, if that's possible.

Please, report an issue to http://kotl.in/issue If it's possible you may attach the project visible for Kotlin team only Thread dumps and logs of hung IDE might be useful too (jstack -l <IntelliJ pid>)
