Mark - I will split this off soon.

In the meantime - here is some more info about how we use it.

We do use NFC structures.    I did find an interesting clue in that
there are certain bottles that cause neard to segfault,  I'm not sure
what is different about them.  We write a string, like
"coppola_chardonnay_2015" to the bottles.  Come to think of it, I
haven't done anything special to make that an ndef record, just
assumed that it would happen by default, I'll look into this further.
  Also, I've been running neard with --plugin nfctype2. Just in case
the problem was happening due to cycling through other tag types.   It
didn't seem to make any difference, but I have not gone back to
default.

Mark - I'm sorry, but I did not write this code, and therefore was not
able to accurately describe it.   It is fixing a different issue, not
the neard segfault that we are still chasing. Last week Jaret Cantu
sent a separate email explaining the purpose of the code, which had
you copied, did you see that?

Hm, no, I didn't.  I received an email from Justin Bronder but not from
Jaret Cantu.  Justin's email did help but is still pretty high-level.
We need a clear understanding as to what is happening in the digital
layer and the driver to know how execution is getting into a block of
error handling code that should never be executed.  Once we understand
that we can start thinking about what the best fix is.

Does it explain why it was done to
your satisfaction?   I've asked him to join in on the effort to push
the change upstream, however he will not be available until the new
year.

I expect that it would help if he joins.  After the holidays is fine -
I think many people are taking it easy for the next week or so, anyway.

I know you did suggest that we split off that change from the others,
and if now is the time to do that, let me know.   If you don't have
the email from Jaret, also please let me know and I will forward it to
you.

I think it would help you if you split it off because the first two patches
have a good chance of being accepted but this one doesn't (yet).  If you
separate the them, it will make it easier for Samuel to take the first two
(or he may take the first two anyway but its always good to make it as
easy maintainers as you can).
