You should probably have ((buf[i + 1] >> 7) & 0x1) to be super safe.

Do you know anything about this code? It seems like nothing is protecting us
from overrunning buf in this loop. We're just assuming that len < tr[1].len
through this loop and I'm not sure what's protecting us from looking where we
shouldn't.
