Revert "Fix CVE-2018-11202 (#3452)" (#3478)
This reverts commit 1ddc2e906ac59d3916ec23a2400227654ccde4dd. This CVE fix triggers a difficult to reproduce Java test error. This may be due to uninitialized bytes in the 128 bit float test that precedes it.

===================================
Library
-------
- - Fixed CVE-2018-11202
-
- A malformed file could result in chunk index memory leaks. Under most
- conditions (i.e., when the --enable-using-memchecker option is NOT
- used), this would result in a small memory leak and and infinite loop
- and abort when shutting down the library. The infinite loop would be
- due to the "free list" package not being able to clear its resources
- so the library couldn't shut down. When the "using a memory checker"
- option is used, the free lists are disabled so there is just a memory
- leak with no abort on library shutdown.
-
- The chunk index resources are now correctly cleaned up when reading
- misparsed files and valgrind confirms no memory leaks.
-
- Fixed an assertion in a previous fix for CVE-2016-4332
An assert could fail when processing corrupt files that have invalid
