+Subject: [PATCH 09/17] patch 9.2.0653: [security]: out-of-bounds write in
+ tree_count_words()
+
+Problem:  [security]: a crafted spell file can drive tree_count_words()
+          past the end of its MAXWLEN-sized depth arrays; the descent
+          loop has no depth bound.
+Solution: only descend while depth < MAXWLEN - 1, as the sibling trie
+          walkers already do; apply the same guard to sug_filltree().
