Description
Tried to set an apparently too long title in the standalone, I got this in the standalone output (not in the log file, right on the console):
ERROR: "ERANGE: String error. Please Report. Trying to put into 33 byte buffer: SCP Test Server 20150517 (Retail)" at network/stand_gui-unix.cpp:408
The program never exited, but the WebUI stopped responding and it disappeared from FS2NetD shortly after, without having updated the title. The engine side should probably handle an attempt to set a long title more gracefully, and the WebUI should prevent attempting to set one too long. Whether that should be hardcoded or the engine can feed the UI with the limits dynamically should be investigated.
