 We started doing this a while back, and covered a lot of the more
 worrisome cases, but there's lots more to do.  Whenever we pass around a
 chunk of bytes, it should be as an array of an unsigned type.  Otherwise
 we'll keep getting bugs like #6861.

 This is going to have to go API by API, alas.
