commit b7666027296a4f89a8ce6b22af335e8aee7a7782
Author: Paul Dreik <address@hidden>

    doh: fix (harmless) buffer overrun
    
    Added unit test case 1655 to verify.
    Close #4352
    
    the code correctly finds the flaws in the old code,
    if one temporarily restores doh.c to the old version.
