There was a problem with invalid packets: Especially, corrupted digipeater fields
may lead to overwriting of memory far beyond the record in question. This may have
security implications. In my case it led to denial of service because file-record
locations were overwritten with garbage and the daemon attempted to write
to these locations.
Now, with a sanity check of the digipeater field, the daemon now works correctly
though the USCC card here generates many bad packets.
