Bug in gprs decode software

[Dario Lombardo]

Hi guys
Today I'm experiencing a bug in the gprs decode software. In rlcmac.c:190,
when li_off and f->len get invalid values, we have a buffer overflow in the
mempy(). In my case f->len=15, li_off=135.
The really stupid patch to avoid it is below: simply jumps the case. I'm
not able to investigate why li_off becames greater than f->len, causing the
crash. Maybe a check should added.
Have some other seen this crash?
