Hi Salah,

Interesting little find.

So usual question for a fix: Have you seen this in the wild, or is
it code reading / tool found?  I'm not against changing it but it
is useful to know this for attaching different levels of importance
to the bug and hence how fast we merge it. Please add a note on that
to the commit message for v2 (though let it sit for a while for others
to look at)

Is there a path for this to happen short of corruption / broken / 
malicious device?  If not, no fixes tag - it's hardening or a useabilty
improvement rather than a bug fix

Thanks

Jonathan
