yes. it was a fun issue and it triggered an 'issue' in the msgb_put
as well.

        if (msgb_tailroom(msgb) < (int) len)
                MSGB_ABORT(msgb, "Not enough tailroom msgb_push (%u < %u)\n",
                           msgb_tailroom(msgb), len);


So when called with a big number the above assert will never hit and
we happily create a huge MSGB..

I think we should do the memset before the first encode/decode as well.
Do you mind if I update the patch for that?
