Currently (r35242) the check is for '< 1' (which signals an error condition in
the SDNV decoder), and '> sizeof(gint64)' (in evaluate_sdnv_64()). As far as I
can tell this is at least enough to hold the bundle processing control flags.
In theory the SDNV could be longer than that (imagine near infinite leading
zeros), but we have to cross over into fixed size types somewhere, so a size
limit has to be imposed.
As far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed as 'FIXED'.
