Local fix

Problem summary

• UA SCRIPT data provider is truncating STDOUT records when
  converting from UNICODE to UTF8.
  
  When using SCRIPT data provider to monitor a
  script's UNICODE output, the resulting conversion to UTF8 is
  being truncated for each data row.
  

Problem conclusion

• Logic was corrected to use the right variable that defines the
  resulting length of UTF8 data so that it is not truncated.
