This is an *excellent* catch, and I *completely* agree.

I suspect that the code, as a whole, needs auditing for message parsing
vulnerabilities; your catch, as well as the one found by Samuel Jero,
makes me fear that there are *many* such input validation bugs.

I hope that Fujita-san applies this patch, as well as any others you
submit to resolve any similar such errors, as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Victor
