Buffer overruns in gtk 1.3.12 (gdk-pixbuf)?

[Jason Tackaberry <tack auc ca>]

I see on Gnotices that gdk-pixbuf 0.16.0 is released, and in the changes
says:

        * Merged fixes in GTK+ 2.0 to the pixops directory.  This should
          fix some memory overruns in the scaling/compositing code
          (Merge by   Federico; fixes by Owen Taylor, Michael Hore, Sven
          Neumann,   Darin Adler).

As I am noticing some weird, seemingly random and infrequent image
corruption with gdk-pixbuf scaling operations in gtk 1.3.12 (I've yet to
come up with a simple test case that reliabley reproduces the problem),
I am wondering if some of these fixes that made it into gdk-pixbuf
0.16.0 were not in gtk+ 1.3.12?

Stability seems unaffacted, it just results in a corrupted (i.e. noisy
garbage) image.  If it's any hint, I'm seeing more corruption with
GDK_INTERP_NEAREST than GDK_NEAREST_TILES.

Regards,
Jason.
