In Novell Groupwise, fix potential remote crash parsing server message
that indicates that a large amount of memory should be allocated. I
added arbitrary max size checks that are hopefully larger than any real
expected value. It was kinda weird that the existing check on checked
MAXINT. We'll want to request a CVE ID for this.
