commit    e3fce282b5d507b8105c26543b079bc279da4000
Author:   Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Date:     Tue Jan 10 00:56:27 2012 +0000
First released in: 9.2.0, 8.3.18, 8.4.11, 9.0.7, 9.1.3

    Fix one-byte buffer overrun in contrib/test_parser.
    
    The original coding examined the next character before verifying that
    there *is* a next character.  In the worst case with the input buffer
    right up against the end of memory, this would result in a segfault.
    
    Problem spotted by Paul Guyot; this commit extends his patch to fix an
    additional case.  In addition, make the code a tad more readable by not
    overloading the usage of *tlen.
