+ - Fixed an assertion in a previous fix for CVE-2016-4332
+
+ An assert could fail when processing corrupt files that have invalid
+ shared message flags (as in CVE-2016-4332).
+
+ The assert statement in question has been replaced with pointer checks
+ that don't raise errors. Since the function is in cleanup code, we do
+ our best to close and free things, even when presented with partially
+ initialized structs.
