This is only a fix if we assume that the len value check is there
as a protection against buffer overrun rather than as a termination condition
that occurs when parsing a valid record.

There is more paranoid checking in ssp_print_mc_debug() so it seems we aren't assuming
valid data in there at least.

Still is this perhaps a case of hardening rather than a fix or am I missing something?

As an aside, if that ssp_print_mcu_debug() reads a negative char it is then
returned directly so we get a random small negative number as the error code which
isn't going to be very useful.
