This patch constrains client text length to 1 MB. Otherwise a client
9b8edd
could make server allocate 2 GB of memory and that seems to be to much
9b8edd
to classify it as denial of service.

I keep the previous checks for maximal type values intentionally as
9b8edd
a course of defensive coding. (You cannot never know how small the
9b8edd
types are. And as a warning for people patching out this change not to
9b8edd
introduce CVE-2018-7225 again.)
