I managed to break your page doing something a bit extreme. I had an issue where .net v4 was giving problems and I decided to try and copy the registry settings from a working machine to a problem machine.
The branch I wanted to copy was HKLM\software\microsoft.netframework
Its huge. The .reg file is 1Mb.
the whole file didn't work, which didn't surprise me. So I tried to slice up the file and used Reg2Cl on chunks of 3-5000 lines at a time. I tried larger but it would fail.
What I did find was that, after converting quite a few large blocks, the page simply stopped responding. It did't matter how small the registry entry was, it didn't work - it returned a server error. I was able to open the page in another browser and continue so I assume theres a cached value or something similar.
I was able to convert the whole branch, so thank you very much, but this also means that theres nothing in the exported file which is an issue, the problem was the large number of entries I was trying to convert

@ianpmurphy, since you could open the page in another browser, you're probably correct that you were either rate limited, or your cache was corrupted. Either way, you certainly didn't break the server side, so perhaps rename this issue to something more descriptive. An example is:
Entering 𝑥 characters into the input form hangs the page, and shows a server error on refresh.

Sorry, I broke your page
Entering large quantities of text to the input form causes the page to stop responding. Page refresh returns a server error.
