Astro Creeps Crash when getting highscores

Astro Creeps crashed several times after startup.

"Getting Highscores..."

Then crash, I have a somewhat strange network so I guess it could be some timeout issue.

After a few restarts it seemed to work ok.

Astro Creeps Crash when getting highscores

I found and fixed a remaining case of buffer overflow that might have been the cause of this. Update online.

Astro Creeps Crash when getting highscores

I fixed even more errors lately in regards to this. I was making the assumption that once I got some of the highscore data, I automatically got all of it. This is wrong since TCP is a streaming protocol and doesn't have any kind of notion of packet boundaries. So I changed my code to spin on receive until I get an error (socket closed). This seems to work much better on slow networks (like Wireless Car).
