I suspect that the patch was reversed, and that you intended this:

- for (j = 0; j < width; j++) {
+ for (j = 0; j < width - shift; j++) {

The patch was wordwrapped too - please fix the email client.


If/when resending, please add to the changelog a bit of an explanation
about the change - what was wrong with the old code and how does the
new code fix it, thanks.
