Comment:

 This is exactly as it occurs in the original; it's a script bug. Since
 it's for an error message that doesn't appear when playing the game and
 it's cosmetic, it's below my already unreasonably low threshold for
 fixing.

 I spent a while digging into this because I assumed it was going to be a
 ScummVM bug, some kind of an edge case in text formatting or size
 calculations. So for anyone morbidly interested...

 QFG4 added custom code to its copy of the Print class to for the large
 first letter in message boxes. It's activated if Print:largeAlp is true
 and the first character of the text is A-Z. In that case Print:addText
 replaces the first character in the string with a tab and that's what
 printed, creating room to draw the large upper case character.

 I don't know why this doesn't work for the error messages in script 64994
 while it works everywhere else. Once I found out this isn't a kernel bug I
 shut it down. The other error reported by this script don't apply to
 ScummVM.
