Problem with Version 4 subpackets :(

Hi,

Well this was going to be a question regarding a problem parsing signature
subpackets. Half way through writting this message I found my problem. :)

In section 5.2.3:

 - Two-octet scalar octet count for following unhashed subpacket data.

I was mistakenly reading this as a count of how many subpackets were to
follow rather than a length of the following group of subpackets.

If it's not too late you may wish to re-word this for greater clarity.

Thanks,
