Some packet parsing errors about lora-packet HOT 3 CLOSED

We've masked most of the above by commenting out rows 707-710 in packet.js.

Seeing another buffer range error:

{"tmst":2727136675,"chan":2,"rfch":0,"freq":917.2,"stat":-1,"modu":"LORA","datr":"SF7BW125","codr":"OFF","lsnr":-7.5,"rssi":-103,"size":5,"data":"q5r5mNQ="}
buffer.js:972
throw new RangeError('Index out of range');

thanks for reporting these!
I clearly merged a PR without checking that it contained plausible code. I'll review & fix.

I've committed a fix for some of these (+ tests as test/test_github_issue17.js) but the really short packets which give an "index out of range" I think aren't valid LoRa. If I'm wrong, please point me in the right direction & I'd love to get them parsed properly.
