The need to check if something is already decoded hints at the existence of other bugs. Encoding/decoding really boils down to knowing *for sure* what data you already have. If we don't know what data we have, we can't safely decode it. Is anyone having a problem with decoding things that are already decoded? Or is this only a theoretical problem?
