Hi Thomas,

well, I think this discussion is beyond the scope of my contribution. Probably 
one doesn’t want the risk of JVM crashes/exits just because someone shoots in a 
bad attach operation name which is too long.

So, may I consider it reviewed from your end? I’m trying the submission repo 
right now with this change…

Best regards
Christoph

termination issue found by coverity scans

Hi Christoph,

Seeing that truncation is considered assertion worthy, should we really hide it 
in release?

Hi,

please review a small fix that was identified by a coverity code scan.

In case strlen(name) was the same or larger than name_length_max or resp. 
strlen(arg) >= arg_length_max, the _name or _arg fields would not get null 
terminated correctly.
