libcharls assertion fails

[Nick Overdijk]

/build/buildd/charls-1.0/encoderstrategy.h:81: void EncoderStrategy::AppendToBitStream(LONG, LONG): Assertion `bitpos >=0' failed.

I encountered it in DCMTK, and found this thread http://forum.dcmtk.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3412 mentioning it, and containing links to the upstream report here http://charls.codeplex.com/workitem/10742 . I couldn't verify if the patch is in the source because I couldn't clone the repo.

Should be fixed in charls 1.0-7 (since Zesty)
