Ops, I realize that your patch does not add any additional need
for a check.
I'll have to have a look another time since I fear I'm not quite awake...
But if I understand right and the check is on the compressed size seem
pointless anyway, the decode_rle function lacks a check that the whole
image is filled.
Not to mention the code that has the comment
            * New Line. Check if correct pixels decoded, if not display warning
            * and adjust bitmap pointer to correct new line position.
But the code does not adjust the "bitmap pointer", nor does it ensure
the whole line is actually initialized.
