Holding more than 255 references to savefiles creates a blank runtime

#define SAVEFILE_COUNT 500

/mob/verb/test()
    var/list/savefiles[SAVEFILE_COUNT]
    for (var/i in 1 to SAVEFILE_COUNT)
        world.log << "using [i]"
        var/savefile/savefile = new /savefile("savefiles/savefile[i].sav")
        savefiles[i] = savefile
    world.log << "finished [SAVEFILE_COUNT] savefiles"


The following code will open and save reference to 500 savefiles, but will stop at 255. The outputted runtime is:

using 254
proc name: test (/mob/verb/test)
source file: world.dm,7
usr: (src)
src: Jaredfogle (/mob)
src.loc: null
call stack:
Jaredfogle (/mob): test()

I understand not being able to store more savefiles, but the runtime being completely blank is unexpected behavior.

This has caused problems in SS13 where our runtimes just look like this: https://i.imgur.com/Ncmsgxl.png
