Comment (by thepolishlad):

 I discovered that the regex on line 255 of formatting.php that processes
 the shortcodes can handle around 33k characters.

 In my case, I am going to rename the membership levels in Wishlist Member
 to greatly reduce the # of characters each level has, thereby reducing the
 overall amount of characters listed in out in the shortcodes generated by
 Wishlist Member.

 I updated the Summary as well to reflect the crash being caused by the #
 of characters, and not the # of shortcodes registered. Feel free to change
 it as appropriate.
