 The server sends a number of columns to the client.
 It uses a limited "fast" function for that instead of the
 general one. This fast function cannot send numbers larger 
 than 2 bytes. 
 This causes the client to expect smaller number of columns. 
 The client writes outside of the allocated memory buffer 
 as a result.
 Fixed the server to use the general function to send column
 count.
 Fixed the client to check the column count before writing
 column data. 

comments are fixed as was suggested in reviews.

bugs/wls in cset's comments. The targetted BUG's or WL's identifier must be specified
the first in the comments. The referred bugs wls can be typed in same as the targeted
clickable format.
If the the target of the fix is a WL and there are some references to bugs
then the first found reference is regarded as "co-target" so that the bug's identifier
comes up on the subject line along with the WL's and commit mail will update
the bug page. The latter feature can be disarmed (if there is no need to update
the referred bug's page) with typing the first a pseudo-bug pattern (bug#0).

This paticular cset will generate subject line containing bug#0 (as it was the first
referred) whereas the old version would put in the subject line the last referred
pattern (e.g bug#2147483648).
