Just to keep everybody in the loop, I contact upstream for the actual library
code (ie Evan, CC'ed, for ReadStat -- which is used in the R package haven
for which this CVE came in) and he was / is aware. This really came from a
set of Google auto-fuzzer reports.

Work is ongoing, but this may take a moment.
