well, the fix is very easy: bail out everytime garbage comes in; however,
I think it's better to stop the garbage at the door rather than when
it's already in.  I couldn't reproduce the problem with any of the
tools/library calls, so the problem should be with YOUR client.  You
were expected to provide a complete dump of the BER code that caused
the crash, I suppose.  That would really help.
