190x version of "Moz-central patch combining attachments"

The backported 1.9.0.x patch doesn't completely fix the bug there -- I still get an immediate startup crash in an optimized CVS trunk build, with attachment 374325 applied.

*** buffer overflow detected ***: ./dist/bin/firefox-bin terminated

So it looks like more needs to be done to fix this on 1.9.0.x (if we want to fix this on 1.9.0.x)

(For anyone else hitting this bug, you can work around it by using gcc / g++ version 4.2 instead of 4.3)
