Subject: Reduce recursion level from 20 to 10 and make a symbolic constant for it. (...)
ID: CVE-2014-8117
Upstream-Author: Christos Zoulas <christos@zoulas.com>
Date: Sun Nov 23 13:54:27 2014 +0000
Origin: FILE5_20-29-g6f737dd
Last-Update: 2015-01-05

    - reduce recursion level from 20 to 10 and make a symbolic constant for it.
    - pull out the guts of saving and restoring the output buffer into functions
      and take care not to overwrite the error message if an error happened.
