Thanks.  AI review raised several possible issues, all pre-existing. 
"out of bound access", "crash the kernel", "out-of-bounds heap access",
"triggering this crash", etc.  All the usual things (seriously!).

None of which stands in the way of your fixes.

The best I can do with this onslaught is to make maintainers aware then
move on.

I do wish that Sashiko was more organized about these drive-by bug
reports.  Retain them in some lookable-uppable way for maintainers to
look at when they have time.  This has been suggested to the Sashiko
developers.  Perhaps one day...
