That's not unexpected; the check for whether the data is text or not
appears to happen quite early in the process of decoding. So it's
enough to get to that point without anything being obviously broken.

In addition to the two errors above, it doesn't appear to be too
difficult to see PXE_MBUF_SHORT_READ, which would give you ERROR:
Corrupt data. I wonder why that error message is different, though.

That doesn't look too good, but I can't reproduce it against 9.3.6 either.
