One of your cvars is too long. All cvars are limited to 256 characters. The one that is too long has a lot of IP addresses, many of them multiple entries of the same address (80.11.19.97 80.11.19.97 80.11.19.97 80.11.19.97 80.11.19.97, etc.). I am guessing the cvar that is too long is g_banips, the one that holds all the banned IPs. I suspect you did addip 80.11.19.97 to ban someone, repeated it multiple times, and exceeded the maximum length limit for cvars (length 267 exceeds MAX_CVAR_VALUE_STRING).

 

You need to find the file jampserver.cfg and see if one of the lines is real long (probably g_banips). Cut that line out of jampserver.cfg and paste it into a text file (or write down the non-duplicate IP addresses by hand if you have to, then delete the line) so you still have a list of the IP addresses you want to ban. Just make sure none of the values in jampserver.cfg is more than 256 characters. Then your server should start. Then go to the console and re-enter the IP addresses with addip, but enter each IP address only once.
