#42 AIM message sent from SprintPCS phone less than 7 chars=null

[Anonymous]

Sending a message from AIM which is less than 7 chars field length
causes the message to show up as null.
Anything 7 or over is recieved fine.

Sending less than 7 chars from the AOL chat agent is never a problem
because there is HTML wrapped around the text that causes it to be
greater than 7 anyways.
If clients dont wrap HTMl around the message, then they need to send
atleast a minimum of 7 chars otherwise the message does not get parsed
by TLV.getData.
Incidentally looking at the ServerICBM class i find that the
TLV_PARTIAL_OFFSET = MSG_COOKIE_LEN+7.
I wonder if the 7 has something to do with the 7 minimum.

This is the temp fixed that i came up with, that seems to work
In the hamsam.protocol.aim.command.ServerICBM class i replaced the
line
tlvList = TLV.getTLVs(data, tlvOffset);
with
byte[] newData = new byte[data.length+7];
for (int i=0;i<data.length;i++) {
newData[i]=data[i];
}
tlvList = TLV.getTLVs(newData, tlvOffset);

Basically i increased the byte array by 7 bytes. It seems to fix the
problem and did not break anything so far.
