I assume we're not seeing all the code, as I don't see the td
allocation or the comment initialization...

The encoder example uses this pattern, so the concept should work.
Are you sure it's the third header triggering this?  You're only
breaking out of the loop after submitting the NULL result from a
fourth pass through to th_decode_headerin.  The if (0==ret)break; test
should be before the th_decode_headerin line.
