Instead: How's the chance the firmware is being fixed not to crash but to gracefully ignore data it can't handle? Some configurable plausibility checks on header data would certainly do (This would obviously also help on the subject off ARM crashes upon loss of signal or garbage received)
Does not work due to the fact that the firmware uses the onboard PROM and is build with help of a binary only library ... even the firmware hackers do not know much what is in the library and on the PROM.
