    Unsigned addition may overflow in xmlMallocAtomicLoc()
    
    For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764616
    
    This code is used only if turning memory allocation debug
    in configure with --with-mem-debug, which should never happen
    in real life, so not a serious issue.
    
    * xmlmemory.c:
    (MAX_SIZE_T): Macro to define maximum value of size_t.
    (xmlMallocAtomicLoc): Add bounds check.  Fix description and use
    the correct function name in another error message.
