Question: Why Maple crash when doing String Split on string of length > one million?

I have string of length

StringTools:-Length(str);
                            1073105

When doing

p:=StringTools:-LengthSplit(str,100):

Maple gives

 

From help:

LengthSplit
split a string into equal length pieces

 

This is all done in .mpl  file actually, not interactive, but I made the above worksheet to show  the problem. The string is read from a file by a program and it wants to split it to 100 length smaller strings.

I have lots of RAM. 128 GB.  So why does Maple crash and is there a workaround this?

This string was generated by another software.

I have attached the above example below as worksheet.  Maple 2022.1 on windows 10.

Here is a simpler way to generate this problem

restart;
str:=StringTools:-Random(1073104,'upper'):
str[1..10];

StringTools:-Length(str);
p:=StringTools:-LengthSplit(str,100):

 

Using trial and error, the crash happens when the length reaches 1073101. At 1073100 there was no crash.
