That is not the name of a person :(

And the format isn't correct, so there's nothing we can do with this
patch, and the patch itself is corrupted and could not be applied :(

Also, what about checking these values earlier?  How can the value be 0
earlier and be acceptable?  Putting bounds on the user-provided values
would be much easier, right?

thanks,
