Package: minicom
Version: 2.4-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

there seems to be a limit on (quoted) words to send in scripts:

sth. like:

send "set xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

in a script leads to:

"
script "test.minicom": syntax error in line 1 (word contains ESC or quote)
"

in minicom.

See also src/script.c:163:getword().

(I know that a partial workaround is to use (non-quoted) multiple words with
the "send" command.)

Thanks,

Roland
