Oh, it's this loop:

		while (c <= '9')
			charset[ofs + i++] = C++;

Obviously, it won't terminate until i gets sufficiently out of range to
cause misbehavior of the VM (usually a segfault).

I think we're done with external mode fuzzing for now.  I am planning to
document these shortcomings in doc/EXTERNAL.  The only unexpected issue
is already patched.

Thanks!
