Fix for 1.2.5 is based on upstream's suggestion about how to prevent the
issue in a minimally invasive way.  Upstream includes in 1.2.9 a test
for this vulnerability in t/11.  If vulnerable, the test will cause a
segfault.  NCommander verified for me that with these changes (he just
tested Hardy, but it should be the same for all) it passes the test and
fails without the update.
