No you are not. There should be no PANIC (or similar thing) anywhere in 
smscconn -modules (or sms-services or whatever). I should have written
this to smscconn.h long time ago but of course forgot to :]

Maybe someone could add to guidelines something like:
'In any case, the smscconn module is not allowed to panic and it
 must check all inputs for data validity before calling octstr
 (or other) functions that might PANIC'
