Comment(by nickm):

 Seems harmless at first glance; if version is greater than the width of
 protocols, then we'll just ignore the value.  But AFAIK, we should also
 never actually use the value if it describes a protocol we can't speak, so
 our failure to record it shouldn't matter.

 So the desired behavior (ignore protocols we can't speak) would seem
 identical to the current behavior.

 This deserves a comment, though.  And somebody should doublecheck my
 logic.
