Protocol parse error on -remote -l

[mattam]

I get this error after adding this torrent: ​http://cachan.mattam.org/~mat/scrubs0701.torrent with "transmission-remote -a" to the daemon. It also seems to be downloading and "transmission-remote -i" still works.

Ok, I know what happens on this one. We're writing 5:error0:(null)13:error-message0:(null), which isn't valid bencoded stuff, so it makes the client flee.

Patch fixing this

tiennou: I think you've found the problem correctly, but I wonder if sending an empty string is a good idea -- I don't know what the clients are expecting. Since "other" is already in use as a generic error string in this function, I think that's a better candidate than ""...
