[PATCH] habv4: Fix parsing of unresonable events.

An unknown root cause made data look like events (0xdb)
with very long event lengths. This was causing
very long printouts of bogus stuff in the console.

While the root cause needs to be found and fixed,
there is no need of parsing events with abnormal lengths.
Also stop parsing if length exceeds the end of scope.
