Actually, wait, this is kind of silly.  I don't see why we couldn't just
skip the loop and do

	p += dummy;

Also, your new test is still failing with a BAD_XDR error.  Well, maybe
the test should fail--we don't really implement this yet anyway--but it
should at least be getting past the xdr decoding.  So something else is
still wrong.
