Fix an uninitialized-read when parsing v3 introduction requests.
Fortunately, later checks mean that uninitialized data can't get sent to the network by this bug. Unfortunately, reading uninitialized heap *can* (in some cases, with some allocators) cause a crash if you get unlucky and go off the end of a page. Found by asn. Bugfix on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
