  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  WebSphere Transformation Extender users who specify the max size
  of a type in characters, using multi-byte characters.
  
  Problem Description:
  Input was being considered "invalid" when there was nothing
  wrong with it.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• In some situations, we did not really have enough input data to
  check for a particular type, so we would fall off the logical
  end of the buffer.  Changed the code to avoid that situation.
