Comment (by yawning):

 Can't reproduce the crash on my test device, oh well.

 The code's still incorrect, and I'm not going to take "the RFC is new" as
 an excuse here since looking at the first IETF draft (dating back to
 2005), the correct behavior there is identical to what is in the RFC.

 Filed https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp/issues/97 in the vain hopes
 that future generations will suffer less due to this particular form of
 brain damage.
