Error description

  • As admin, create a desktop settings doc.
    Define a custom INI, with max allowed length of 256 chars.  In
    my case, I'm using this:
    
    QUOTAWARNINGTEXT=123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456
    
    Include settings in a policy, and push policy to a user.
    
    As user, start Notes client, and authenticate with home server.
    Perform some function that uses your custom INI (in my case, I'm
    opening an over-quota mailfile).
    
    The custom quota warning text that displays ends in "1234" --
    last two chars are missing.
    
    Check PolicyDesktop doc in local names.nsf --
    $PrefQUOTAWARNINGTEXT shows the expected value, with 256 bytes,
    ending in "123456"
    
    Check user's notes.ini -- notes.ini includes this entry:
    QUOTAWARNINGTEXT=123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 1234567890123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
    123456789 123456789 123456789 1234
    
    - It appears that we're only writing 254 chars, not the 256
    chars that we say we support.
