  * PCOMM Session crashed while playing a vbscript Macro         *

  ****************************************************************
  The PCOMM session crashed due to the initialization of the
  buffer beyond its size. The WindowTitle API is used to set the
  PCOMM session window title.
  
  Example:
  Dim autECLWinObj
  Set autECLWinObj = CreateObject("PCOMM.autECLWinMetrics")
  autECLWinObj.SetConnectionByName(ThisSessionName)
  autECLWinObj.WindowTitle = "hello"
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSHLL32.DLL code changes are made to initialize the WindowTitle
  buffer to the correct size.
  

Temporary fix
