1. Buffer overflow in contrib/test_parser/test_parser.c

   Hello,
   
   There is a buffer overflow in sample code's test_parser.c that can yield to a segmentation fault. The next byte of the buffer is tested against ' ' before its availability is checked.
   
   You will find attached a simple patch that fixes the bug.

   Hmm, yeah.  The probability of a failure is very low of course, but
   still it'd be better if the sample code didn't have bugs like this.

   Will apply, thank you.
