I'd rather see you pass a parameter to this function with the
remaining size in the buffer, so we don't need this global variable
h323_buffer_valid_bytes.

You can probably add an initial patch to add a structure to store the
state information so we reduce the function parameter footprint.

        struct h323_ct_state {
                ...
                int buflen;
        };

So you pass up the h323_ct_state structure to function calls,
something like that.

Thanks.
