Minor length-checking error message problem

In esapi.reference.validation, StringValidationRule.java:

Lines 99-102:

// check length
if (canonical.length() < minLength) {
throw new ValidationException( context + ": Invalid input. The maximum
length of " + maxLength + " characters was exceeded.", "Input exceeds
maximum allowed length of " + maxLength + " by " +
(canonical.length()-maxLength) + " characters: context=" + context + ",
type=" + getTypeName() + "), input=" + input, context );
}

The error message is incorrect. It should say something like: "The minimum
number of characters (" + minLength + ") was not met." What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest SVN of ESAPI.

Sorry. Fixed this one recently and didn't realize there was already an issue for it.
