      SERVER-43909 changed toHex(char*,int) to hexblob::encode(char*,size_t).
      This is the right signature for an encoding function, but a subtlety was ignored in the changeover. The len is, in at least one place, potentially negative. This can happen in BSONElement::toString, on a malformed binData type 2 payload.

      Comment here discusses same details.
