probably, and even if not the packet size limits are not going to be an

(I'd say that most demuxers I've seen won't even deal with multi-MB MPEG
packets, too high a chance that it's just a bunch of random bytes, but that
would then be a demuxer bug again.)

Anyway, applied. Thanks for the lesson. :-). Can I make packet_size unsigned
now? Looks safe to me.
