    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21854?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=206991#comment-206991 ] 

klaus3000 commented on ASTERISK-21854:
--------------------------------------

Above is of course just for testing. But in real live I use version strings which indicate the patches I added to the plain Asterisk, e.g:

1.4.17 with-CLEARMODE-with-T38-fix-with-config-option-XYZ-with-foobar-with-security-AST-2013-.....

So, my version strings are sometimes really long :-)

> When using a long version string in file ".version", the presented string when connecting to the Asterisk CLI looks corrupted. See following example: the string printed directly is correct, the "Connected to" string (which shows the version received via the socket from the server) is broken:
> {noformat}
> # rasterisk
