Comment (by vinxxe):

 Yes, I forgot my manners.
 Apologize me, but as I did already explain you should not close a codec
 never opened. Moreover, in submitting a bug report, you should write
 precisely the correct code exploiting the bug, nothing more nothing less.
 If the code is buggy you should explain why.
 I've spent time in writing the snippet, in testing the code with tcmalloc
 and valgrind and this is only fair in an open source community, because I
 use the great work someone did. What is not fair, at least in my opinion,
 is to treat someone who just wants to thank you for the great work you've
 done as a pain in the ass.
 This has been my feeling.
 If I misunderstood I apologize twice.
