* Restricted global messages to 255 characters (client shows only ~80 anyway, wanted to use 127 but frost joke's lines are longer than that ...)

- prevented using a ~22+kB long message to crash everyone on screen
- prevented faking the message length to cause an out-of-bounds access crash
- removed the unneccessary 'buf'ffer (inspiration from jAthena)
- Ref: http://www.eathena.ws/board/index.php?showtopic=137770

+	* Minor details (pdb file location, improved debug, npc typo) [ultramage]
 	* Cleaned up the npcshop(add/del)item script commands, fixed a possible
 	  dangling pointer crash caused by their improper use of realloc. They no
 	  longer automatically attach the script to the shop, and they will return
