This patch is full of dangerous vulns and is thereby rejected. It's
also a bad approach. If access to rar'd subs is really so important
(huh? I never understood the point, just unrar them before burning
your cds...) then please read and document the unrar source so that
someone can make a cleanroom free replacement.
