+Can't we just /ignore those overlongs?
+
+It might be used like this way (as we talked on irc):
+
+BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader (stream);
+while (br.PeekChar ())
+  br.ReadInt32 ();
+
+Note that PeekChar () tries to read one utf-8 character.
+
+Currently the code above will "randomly" crashes (well, not random,
+but users might guess so) when PeekChar() met overlong binary data.
+
+Attaching the patch.
