passed regressions, applied

while ive already said this is ok, i must retract this approval, ive made
a misstake the patch is totally broken and introduces a exploitable buffer
overflow, and a fairly obvious one

using the container height for the allocated image instead of 2*height
and then decoding a image with the codec height into it of course cannot
work as theres no guarantee that container height >= 2* codec height
this also isnt checked anywhere

nice reason to fork, anyone still curious why i reject patches i dont
fully understand?
