With the error message:
unrecoverable error
    Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.

Apparently CRM_Utils_Type::escape() is not built to handle the Memo type, and so it errors out as the default response.

The attached patch fixes this problem by treating Memo in the same way as String.  I am not sure if this is the best fix, but since a memo column is string data, it seems to be right.
