failed to marshal BlockResponse, dropping request (…) max slice length exceeded

[jzu]

I don't know if it's a bug, but a strange error message appeared in my logs.

Dec 09 16:52:07 avalanche avalanchego[897756]: ERROR[12-09|16:52:07.864] <C Chain> github.com/ava-labs/coreth/sync/handlers/block_request.go:114: failed to marshal BlockResponse, dropping request nodeID=NodeID-NPV9unFf23BdzC9SSm6fwHf8YbxAEGstQ requestID=80658 hash=7ba034..0b44f4 parents=32 blocksLen=20 err="max slice length exceeded; slice length, 285886, exceeds maximum length, 262144

I don't usually worry too much about random error messages, but a user saw roughly the same message earlier today and was told to post it here. However he had already zapped his database: https://discord.com/channels/578992315641626624/620633143002660874/1183001117584523375

His message was:
<C Chain> github.com/ava-labs/coreth/sync/client/client.go:354: could not validate response, retrying nodeID=NodeID-5zP7p1nk2KnAL4SHvgFWcF9Xei3Q13CC3 attempt=0 request="BlockRequest(Hash=0x7ba03488fd86250c9fb4541fc131b8deecb423a335182f4852418df3120b44f4, Height=38780768, Parents=32)" err="failed to unmarshal response: couldn't unpack codec version"

I did see these "couldn't unpack" messages too, while syncing a new database.
