Possible crash in NetStringTable

You can try out the crash on TGE/TGEA and TGB with: gettaggedString(24323412);
The problem is, that getTaggedString "calls const char *NetStringTable::lookupString(U32 id)" where the id is not validated. If id is higher than the objects size the engine crash. This can also happen in other related NetStringTable functions.
Solution:
if (id >= size) return NULL;
or on other functions:
if (id >= size) return;

No it was just an example number. It also works with gettaggedString(16) if size is 16.
