Infrequent crashes caused by a bug

Line 326 in 0b3aee1

p[len] = 0;

In fauxmoESP.cpp on line 326 is a hidden bug that in certain constellations will crash the ESP. You are writing a zero byte behind the buffer allocated by AsyncTCP. This goes unnoticed most of the time, but if you happen to have some address data immediately following in memory unexpected things will happen.

@Miq1 Thank you very much for reporting that, I was wondering why my devices keep crashing from time to time. Especially when Alexa is searching for new smart home devices. I was able to find a workaround and so far, my devices no longer crash.
If anyone is interested:

@ranger81 You are welcome. 😁

Remains the issue of Alexa not understanding or ignoring the status responses. Most annoying, I must say.

Just wanted to add my thanks to @Miq1 and @ranger81 for posting this - it seems to have fixed my intermittent exceptions problems too.
