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.
