As far as i know no limit about variable names is documented. My testing shows that
variable names with more than 12 identical
characters are not handled correctly in varaiable assignments in version 3.45 and 3.55

Who can fix this bug?

Code sample:

; variable names with more than 12 char

$123456789012 = "a"
? "123456789012:" $123456789012
$123456789012_a = "b"
? "123456789012:" $123456789012


$longer_than_12_char = "a"
? "longer_than_12_char:" $longer_than_12_char
? "Assignment to longer_than_12_char_A"
$longer_than_12_char_a = "b"

? "First variable value named 'longer_than_12_char' corrupt!"
? "longer_than_12_char:" $longer_than_12_char
? "longer_than_12_char_A:" $longer_than_12_char_A
