Hello—just pinging again about the following two patches I submitted. Each
fixes small access-out-of-bounds errors in libdecnumber.

https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-February/644840.html
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-February/644910.html

Also, the documentation indicated that I should mention that I do not have
write access, since I'm a first-time contributor.
