Attached patch, issue10254.diff, is essentially Martin's code from msg120018 and Part3 tests from NormalizationTest.txt.

Since this bug exposes a buffer overflow condition, I think it qualifies as a security issue, so I am adding 2.6 to versions.

Passing Part3 tests and not crashing on crash.py is probably good enough for a commit, but I don't have a proof that length 20 skipped buffer is always enough.  As the next step, I would like to consider an alternative algorithm that would not require a "skipped" buffer.
