  No, IBM triggered this during their testing on powerPC. I can ask them if
they can share the test if you are interested.

  Well, rlen has been decreased so rlen >= minlen makes sense. rlen <=
maxlen seems to be the obvious one to me.

  Yes, this would have caught the bug. Should I add this assertion an
resend?
