Hi,

It looks like this is probably a duplicate related to this patch:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=1f05ed98df706bb64aeee4dccc5ab48cd7542643

Best,
Brooke Basile

Sorry, in hindsight my wording may have been a bit awkward in my
message-- what I meant to say is, your patch may also resolve that bug. :)
I don't actually have a patch for this, I had just begun working on it
over the weekend and saw that your patch could be related to the issue.

Best,
