Hi Qian,
The code that you mention still exists in the trunk and does not check for
the len before calling memcpy. Please open a jira on this.
The interesting thing though is that the len is -1. Do you have any test
case or a test scenario where it can be reproduced. It would be interesting
to see why this is happening. We should not be getting a -1 len value from
the server.
Thanks
