In addition to bug 890577 I found multiple crashes that are not considered security issues at all.

1) Infinite recursion (stack-overlflow)

    ar: switch from alloca to malloc
    
    If alloca allocates too much stack space, program behavior is undefined,
    and basically we segfault.  There is no way to check whether this will
    happen ahead of time, so our only choice is to switch to malloc.  If we
    try to allocate too much memory from the heap, we'll get a NULL pointer,
    and we can diagnose & exit ourselves.  Kind of sucks as alloca was a
    perfect fit here, but since the size is coming directly from user input,
    we can't trust it is always "reasonable".

some of the crashes were the same as bug 890577
