It goes pop

If you feed marvin a long command, the server keels over:

** Welcome to Marvin Version 0.01 =| This is the completly alpha test version *->................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. warning unknown type 8 in message_send(1)--> EOF, say bye bye S-Lang says: So long, and thanks for all the fish... silver>MARVIN_SLANG_PATH=~arthur/work/marvin ~arthur/marvin localhost 5000 Connection to 'localhost' failed: Connection refused Bummer.

One of the problems is in the client, a long string, which exists correctly within slang, never gets handed through to the C implimentation of send_message. the parameter comes out as being type NULL instead of type STRING, but only when too big.

this is having a knock on effect as its not an error thats trapped.

(In [68]) update the version of the private slang headers and trap the null type error refs #1
