[bug v1.2] buffer Overflow - table "startbp" does not exist

System: Win7, 64bit german

edit: familiar bug seems one time only
minor Bug: If you create a new Mage, for example an Conjurer and then cast your find familiar spell you will get the familiar for your (current?) alignment, but the familiar will not grand you the HP bonus (Familiar HP/2, should be 6 HP). Tested on Mage Conjurer, Lawful neutral - ferret. The dialog for pick pocket seems to work but I wasn't yet able to test if I can actually use pickpocket with the ferret, because of some mayor bug that followed:

mayor bug:
Buffer overflow (see pictures below). I got a second window which tells me that the game unsuccessfully tried to access more then 256 tables(?) out of 256 tables, and 2 similar windows. That windows are shown on character generation, but I could not yet reproduce the windows on restart. The effects of it are still there:

That's the first line of my latest customized Biography, followed by the introduction Text, and even changes Color as if that "script" is selectable. A few of my characters, even some pre patch do show that, and I got one savegame without character pictures in the savegame preview slot.

Just tried that. Still the text in the savegames I opened after the patch. And I don't have any mods intalled. Since I don't know what might happen to the savegames I did not open yet, I will limit my moves to new characters or the 3 saves I know that they have the problem.

edit: New Char doesn't show the text. Looks like I borged the 3 savegames, but at least temporary fixed the intruding text in the script window for new chars and possible the unaltered savegames. The familiar now gives the proper amount of HP, so it might just be as you suggested: a messed um .tlk. The only thing which doesn't work properly now is some intruding text instead of the "Filename:" in the char export screen.

And perhaps the description about the ferret being a caster (blur)is wrong. Looks to me that it can hide, pickpocket and it just opened some locks. It's quite handy especially at the beginning

Also try to hard link the Dialog.tlk

hard link the dialog.tlk? How would I do that? I mean, all files are on the same drive and folder (common),so the steam client should't replace any links.

And here finally the overflow windows:
