Reply-To: The Coverity checker correctly noted that this condition can't ever be fulfilled.

Can someone understanding this code check whether my guess what this should have been was right?

Or should the if get completely dropped?

Coverity is silly.

len is signed, and so can obviously be less than zero in edge cases. I don't see where the "> 2048" test is invalid, either.
