 Well this fix breaks multiplayer and the description is not like broke correctly resulting in a possible second assert for MAX_NUM_SHIP_DESC_LINES being exceeded. This one happens in both single and multi.

Example:

+Description: XSTR("test description", -1)
$end_multi_text

results in:
test
descr
iption

+Description: XSTR("A much longer test description of this ship to see what happens", -1)
$end_multi_text

results in the assert.

I'll attach a diff that seems to work around the first multi problem.

 Apparently this patch was committed in 7002. Is there anything still broken mentioned in this ticket?

 Tested with the above snippets. No Assert reached.

The second +Description entry did lead to a bit of a text area over draw in the interface though: http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7347/descriptiontest.png

Additionally, when setting up for the second +Description test, I accidentally forgot to include the "$end_multi_text" which did not result in any pop-up warnings, but did lead to this easily missed entry in the log:
"Error. Too much text (28553 chars, 4096 allowed) before $end_multi_text"

Build test: Antipodes 8370 build.

 Closing then if no other complaints.
