I'm not familiar with VSDB parsing, but there's a comment before the
function:

i.e. length is one shorter than you might expect.

Digging through the history there a post from 2013[1] when the code was
being reviewed:

So it looks like that comment for 'len' was meant to explain the unusual
length. I have to admit that I didn't find the comment obvious, and the
code does look suspect though.

Did you actually see any problems in practice with the existing code?
