Reasonable.  It was originally an array of bytes until I found out that it had
structure.  Even so, I should probably have used sizeof() then.

Certainly the 0x80 can.  I have a patch to define ASN1_INDEFINITE_LENGTH.  The
question is how to define the 0x82 since it's a flag plus a value.  Maybe by
using something like:

	#define ASN1_LONG_LENGTH(x) (0x80 | (x))

Anyway, thanks for the reviews!
