Fix for CVE-2008-5243.
The real_parse_headers function in demux_real.c in xine-lib 1.1.12,
and other 1.1.15 and earlier versions, relies on an untrusted input
length value to "reindex into an allocated buffer," which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted
value, probably an array index error.
