This is a bit of a mixture of a fix and a refactor. That leaves
us with a rather longer fix patch than would be ideal.

could you break this into the minimal fix (just check limits and perhaps
fix the buffer length to be half as long) then a follow up rework patch
that gets you to the state at the end of this current patch?

Thanks,
