In put_packet_binary() we have:

    uint8_t *p;
    for(;;) {
        p = s->last_packet;
        *(p++) = ...
        s->last_packet_len = p - s->last_packet;
        put_buffer(s, (uint8_t *)s->last_packet, s->last_packet_len);

The 'p' pointer start at s->last_packet, then is only incremented.
Since we have "p >= s->last_packet", we are sure than
"p - s->last_packet >= 0", thus "p - s->last_packet" is positive.

The few other places where s->last_packet_len is set is with constant
positive values.

It makes sense to use size_t to hold last_packet_len values.
