EA crashes (exc 0xc0000409) when saving connector tag value too large

[Geert Bellekens]

When trying to save (update()) an EA.ConnectorTag after setting the value to a string larger than 255 characters, EA crashes hard.
So hard you can't even catch the exception when debugging.
The exception code found in the eventviewer is 0xc0000409 which means STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN

I just spent a fun half a day tracking down this issue

The API should catch this type of problem and return a regular COM exception instead of crashing and burning.
