Parsing the following coap message results in a crash of contiki:

coap message hexdump:

00000000  53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53  84 53 53 53 53 53 53 53  |SSSSSSSS.SSSSSSS|                          
00000010  5d 00 00 0e 53 53 53 73  32                       |]...SSSs2|
00000019

How to reproduce:

static coap_packet_t message[1];
uint8_t teststr[] = { 0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x84 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x5d ,0x00 ,0x00 ,0x0e ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x53 ,0x73 ,0x32 };
coap_parse_message(message, (unsigned char *)teststr, sizeof(teststr));
