> I found this while working on my fix for AST-961, but didn't have a chance to really track it down.
> Attached I have a really simple script I use to stimulate long-line errors in the AMI parser. If you send lines of 1024 characters or less, everything works as expected. If you send lines of 1026 characters or more, it will respond with a 'line too long' error (assuming you have [my fix for long line errors|https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/2142/]).
> But if you send a 1025 character line exactly, AMI will read a bare newline immediately after the long line, terminating the message. This leads to an extra error response, which really confuses AMI libraries, such as [StarPy|https://github.com/asterisk-org/starpy].
