[db-wg] bug? accepting larger than 32 bit BGP Communities in RPSL

Hello,

The bug is fixed and the fix will be included in our next release. We will send an announcement when the release is deployed to the production. 
There are currently 8 objects in the RIPE Database containing invalid data regarding this new syntax check. We will contact their maintainers to fix those issues after the deployment.

Kind Regards,
Kaveh.
