RT2MS will ingest a parfile with non-standard (>5 char) station names w/o a warning.

Station names should be 5 characters or less (maybe 3-5, maybe 1-5, there's disagreement there). RT2MS will process station names of up to 11 characters without error or warning. Station names of 12 characters or longer cause the program to crash with a python error after creating an output directory, leaving a 0-byte miniseed file.

Below are outputs for successful processing of long names, and a failure with a 12-character name.

Long station names:
