vnc assumes that the screen width is a multiple of 16 in several places. If this is not the case vnc will overrun buffers, corrupt memory, make qemu crash.
This is the minimum fix for this bug. It makes sure we don't overrun the scanline, thereby fixing the segfault. The rendering is *not* correct though, there is a black border at the right side of the screen, 8 pixels wide because 1400 % 16 == 8. Not sure what the best way to fix that for real is. qemu allways sends updates which are 16 (or a multiple of 16) pixels wide. I'm not sure whenever this is something specified in the protocol or just in the qemu implementation. jpeg encodes 16x16 blocks too. How does vnc+jpeg-encoding handle odd screen sizes?
