RFC 4178 section 4 specifies that "the encoding of the SPNEGO protocol
messages shall obey the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) of ASN.1, as
described in [X690]."

X.690 section 10.1 (Distinguished Encoding Rules, length forms)
specifies that "The definite form of length encoding shall be used,
encoded in the minimum number of octets."

So this is pretty clearly a NetApp bug.  Has a report been filed with them?
