Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I saw that code as well. But I find out there is no more
additional code relevant to it.
So I guess, that is for like reserved ones for the future work (e.g.,  RESTORE).
And such code cannot solve this crash issue because the crash happens
even when cmd_count is less than 33.

I agree. So far, seems that removing if (ptr->cmd_count > 33) looks better.
Please let me know if you have better ideas.

Well, let me check this part again.
