	This patch probably fixes the bug, but Emacs should really enforce
	limits on the dimensions given by the GIF library.  What if it reports
	an image width of two million pixels?  Do we really want to allocate
	such large images and pixmaps?

    I agree we should have limits--perhaps specified
    by a variable.  It could specify a float which is interpreted
    by multiplying by the screen height or width.

I meant the frame's height or width.
