My static checker complains because the "e->location" has up to 256 characters but we are copying it into the "pvt->detail_location" which only has space for 240 characters. That's not counting the surrounding text and the "e->other_detail" string which can be over 80 characters long. I am not familiar with this code but presumably it normally works. Let's add a limit though for safety.
