I wasn't talking about a overflow, but that is something that also can go 
wrong in the future, but I doubt stars will overflow right now. The check for 
the end of the doubly linked list however, can wrap in fromstringlist, which  
will cause a ~infinite deadlock in fromscheduler. I have not checked if this 
might occur at other places in programinfo. A check for a null string on 
conversion to ascii would be nice too.
