Sorry, I wasn't talking about combining the TA and TB checks. I was
talking about combining the TB check and the bounds check so that you
didn't return and se_info_atr for a value that may not have actually
aligned due to the fact you had overflowed. Specifically, is skipping
the i++ the correct response to going out of bounds? I'm wondering if
you should be returning the default instead in the case of overflow?

The TA check could be modified so that it checks for "++i =
ST_NCI_ESE_MAX_LENGTH" and if that is true break rather than continue
in the loop.
