Can we get somebody to revert

The update was built to fix CVE-2015-5203 which fixes a double free
when opening corrupt JPEG-2000 files but in doing-so breaks quite a
few apps in the desktop spin causing them to exit with an assert deep
in libjasper.
In the update the function jas_stream_memopen has been changed:
-jas_stream_t *jas_stream_memopen(char *buf, int bufsize);
+jas_stream_t *jas_stream_memopen(char *buf, size_t bufsize);
Unless I'm misunderstood things dramatically, size_t is basically
*unsigned* long integer, but this function offers a feature where if
the bufsize is -1 the buffer is realloc'd as needed. gdk-pixbuf2 uses
this feature for JPEG-2000 files. However, as size_t represents only
positive numbers, a conversion takes place to some very high number
and the allocation fails.
one more case for enabling libabigail tests in bodhi ...
