That is even better, thanks!

This is what num and maxlen are supposed to guard against.  Try working
through the code with an input which is too long.
Say, 1234y for instance.
Once the 3 is read, we know we have invalid input.  The function will
send "goto canceled" to the synthesizer, and the operation will be
aborted.
If you can show me an input that would exceed the length of the buffer,
I'll give this function a closer look.

Thanks,
