commit b11b0d3ef18a35595a07a06c91fa4f27c9cacf5b

avoid calling memset with a negative count
Poorly written perl code that allows an attacker to specify the count to
perl's 'x' string repeat operator can already cause a memory exhaustion
denial-of-service attack. A flaw in versions of perl before 5.15.5 can
escalate that into a heap buffer overrun; coupled with versions of glibc
before 2.16, it possibly allows the execution of arbitrary code.
The flaw addressed to this commit has been assigned identifier
CVE-2012-5195.
