I do think it can be prevented without changing the cabac reader.
a patch doing so is attached, i will push it later today or tomorrow
unless there are objections
The advantage of my variant is also, its trivial to add support to
disable it at runtime and thus prevent the tiny performance hit.

someone (jason/loren ?) also might want to set MAX_MBPAIR_SIZE to a
tigher limit. my limit is way larger than needed.
Also the buffer memset(0) should force the cabac reader into reading
MPS and this bounds the worst case bit per symbol tightly.
