Upstream fix: Revision 1.18
http://freeimage.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/freeimage/FreeImage/Source/FreeImage/PluginPCX.cpp?view=log&pathrev=MAIN
Details:
The PluginPCX.cpp file(version 3.17.0) has:
371 unsigned width = header.window[2] - header.window[0] + 1;
372 unsigned height = header.window[3] - header.window[1] + 1;
373 unsigned bitcount = header.bpp * header.planes;
However, it's possible that header.window[2] < header.window[0], and also header.window[3] < header.window[1]. In this
two cases, width and height
