Just a notice: last year I submitted a replacement for that decoder. My
code was far from the shape of inclusion und therefore didn't pass the
review process immediately. The main advantages of the new code are very
small size of lookup tables, good readability and better error/invalid
data handling.

I'm still working on improving my code. I just want to say that this
work is as far as complete, it needs some cosmetic cleanups and maybe
some refractions because it was written in a hurry.

Therefore, I suggest to switch to the new code, improve it and drop the
old one instead of wasting time fixing that obfuscated and potentially
broken source. I'm sure you'll spend less time and will gain
significantly better results...
