Subject: Sanity-checking patch from Phil Bordelon: since Solo can't cope with
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/~mdw/sgt/puzzles/commitdiff_plain/95057cc542980d4160e951000d930975a712c41c

Sanity-checking patch from Phil Bordelon: since Solo can't cope with
more than 36 distinct symbols (it runs out of alphanumerics), check
this in validate_params. I hate to do this, since I like puzzle
sizes to at least be open-ended in _principle_, but in this case
there's a fundamental UI limitation which won't be fixed by getting
a faster CPU.
