Maybe they're getting what they asked for?

OK, OK, OK.

There are also some more BUGs that could use looking into if anyone
wants to.

    rpc: remove some BUG()s
    
    It would be kinder to WARN() and recover in several spots here instead
    of BUG()ing.
    
    Also, it looks like the read_u32_from_xdr_buf() call could actually
    fail, though it might require a broken (or malicious) client, so convert
    that to just an error return.
