Fix for bug 1264 from Julian Cable:
I've refactored the offending code branch and added some comments so hopefully the intent is a bit clearer. The loop termination conditions are now obviously independent of the content on the wire (they were meant to be before, but I admit it was obscure). I've tried using the ephemeral memory routines. Add a check for a maximum fragment count, and bail out of reassembly instead of triggering an ep_alloc exception. Add Julian to AUTHORS. Update the release notes. svn path=/trunk/; revision=21007
