Re: [hobbit] Hobbit client data truncated by server?!

From src/bb.h in bb18b3:

   #define MAXLINE  8192   /* CHANGED FROM 256 - MAX LINE SIZE */

This definition is used multiple places, including:

  static char msgbuf[MAXLINE];   /* INCOMING MESSAGE BUFFER */

and

  strcat(msgbuf, "\n\n... DATA TRUNCATED ...\n"); /* 25 chars ! */

after discovering that the message length is bigger than MAXLINE+30.

Somewhat late reply, but I'm cleaning up mails prior to the 4.2 release.

Since you see the "... DATA TRUNCATED ..." string inside the client
message,
I have a strong suspicion that it was sent with the "bb" utility from
the original Big Brother package.

This text doesn't appear anywhere in the Hobbit code :-)
