[yarp] If the application name is longer then 15 characters, the fixture does not load

[traversaro]

If I tried to load with the yarpmanager fixture plugin an application with a name (contained in the xml <name> tag) longer or equal to 16 characters, I got a failure message:

pegua@pareto:~/src/icub-tests/build$ testrunner --suit ../suits/basics-icubGazeboSim.xml --verbose

Staring test runner.

@traversaro Cannot reproduce the issue on Debian Wheezy!!!

<suit name="Basic Tests Suite">
    <description>Testing robot's basic features</description>
    <environment>--robotname icubSim</environment>
    <fixture param="--fixture icubsim-fixture_loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.xml"> yarpmanager </fixture>
...

the test run :

$ testrunner -v -s ../suits/basics-icubSim.xml 
Loading ../suits/basics-icubSim.xml
Staring test runner.

Sorry, I did not explain properly.

This fixture is working fine (iCub Simulator is 14 character) :

    <connection>

    </connection>
</application>

while this is failing (iCub Simulator Loooooooooooooooooooooong is >> 16 characters):
