Error: RangeError: value out of range when decoding raw tx

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I ran into issues when decoding some raw transactions, some will decode, some will not.

const bitcoinjs = require('bitcoinjs-lib')

const network = {
  messagePrefix: '\x18Monaize Signed Message:\n',
  bip32: {
    public: 0x0488B21E,
    private: 0x0488ADE4
  },
  pubKeyHash: 0x3c,
  scriptHash: 0x55,
  wif: 0xbc
}

let txValid = 
"0100000001605050d7b78352da4332f5f2798e33b3997a7ae296ff8369edcf1eb52c9ad4d6010000006b483045022100e950b4720dd6d4be823a02a70564a80b0174385e9c5242cb57f9ec1d6ac65ee002205b56ef3323d538b2aaa6579b8a17f3d1f5e6164e6b03873d03e608b2bdf848ba012103668e3368c9fb67d8fc808a5fe74d5a8d21b6eed726838122d5f7716fb3328998ffffffff0200e1f505000000001976a91486c7b9ada0107304932a603f19a57a4478d1a7e988ac00382e1b1f0000001976a91473122bcec852f394e51496e39fca5111c3d7ae5688ac00000000"

let txNonValid = 
"0100000001d6987930e07b72810a4be2b92f057b242e9d503452bee254e39c87e57fc3b4b6000000006b483045022100ce1ca28aa02102fce86c712a4dda983b3285cd78ece7108d4a4865cfaa4199ba022035996623faafef94da3ba4de1def041ac21950e82c9fa8d4ab32bc8f70502046012102300d29dc3ffc0e0b28abc64c04458bb57180a7c280fc65108460e16878d86c19feffffff021ab4ec6cc6b858001976a91438cbde195a5f6f6d3863e9dd33643fbf8d2d315f88acc054d228950000001976a91473122bcec852f394e51496e39fca5111c3d7ae5688acd2e8935a"

let decodedTx = bitcoinjs.Transaction.fromHex(txValid, network)
console.log(decodedTx)

let decodedTxNonValid = bitcoinjs.Transaction.fromHex(txNonValid, network)
console.log(decodedTxNonValid);

On the second tx I get this :

/home/xx/src/testbjs/node_modules/bitcoinjs-lib/src/bufferutils.js:8
  if (value > max) throw new Error('RangeError: value out of range')
                   ^

You can split change if you want.

if (change > 90 * 1e6 * 1e8) {
  change1 = Math.ceil(change/2)
  change2 = change - change1
  txb.addOutput(address, change1)
  txb.addOutput(address, change2)
}

hehe
