Users seem to love to wait until right before a release to submit
defects to Beast, and this release is no exception.

This is a breaking bug whose fix needs to get into the beta. I have
added a unit test which fails before and passes after the proposed
resolution, here are the commits:

Fix parse_dec algorithm
<https://github.com/vinniefalco/beast/commit/802390886d401003925f1421da8ca03667b4ebd1>

Add parse_dec tests
<https://github.com/vinniefalco/beast/commit/6d1bd38012c09ad17d36ad849b25493322eed0ef>

I'd like to merge this to master. The consequence of not merging it,
is that HTTP messages with large values for Content-Length may be
parsed incorrectly.

Thanks
