+Subject: [PATCH] asn1_find_node: added safety check on asn1_find_node()
+
+This prevents a stack overflow in asn1_find_node() which
+is triggered by too long variable names in the definitions
+files. That means that applications have to deliberately
+pass a too long 'name' constant to asn1_write_value()
+and friends. Reported by Jakub Jirasek.
