Exactly. I don’t see any reason to force the situation showing that you
can’t use the LUD segment beyond particular value. The test can be that
simple showing the max segment is 254, not 255 - exactly the functionality
that is added to the code. So, it should fail at creation of 255th segment
and it will be the positive outcome of the test. If there’s no error -
the test fails.
It will simplify the test considerably. Also, you should not have such
long explanation of ITERN/ITERC - just say "the 255th segment is forbidden,
since its encoding is overlapped with control variable used by ISNEXT”.

I would recommend to wait for the 2nd reviewer here - especially if you
discussed the patch before submit.
