Issue/Introduction

When a WP on linux has the hostname= setting in ucsrv.ini set to a very long name, the WP core dumps instead of throwing an error message.

Example:

1) on a Linux AE system, update ucsrv.ini to have a very long hostName= setting, for example: 
   hostName=this-is-a-very-long-fully-qualified-domain-name-and-will-cause-a-core-dump-.domain.com
   
2) Start a WP: nohup $PWD/ucsrvwp &

Expected behavior:
In a case where the long hostName string is valid, WP starts up

Actual behavior:
Process ends with:
[1]+  Aborted                 (core dumped) nohup $PWD/ucsrvwp  (wd: /usr/automic/ae/bin)

 

Log is created, but simply ends with:
