Regressions in mpg123 since 1.14.0 (please update stable and testing to 1.18.0)

Hi,

I'm the mpg123 upstream maintainer and just pushed out a release to fix
some regressions introduced in the 1.14.x series. Among those is a
buffer overflow that I naturally would like to see gone also for stable
debian. I strongly suggest updating to 1.18.0 to fix the regressions.
Providing a single patch to fix older versions is not trivial, so I
hope it is fine with debian to push a version number also in stable.

Version 1.18.0 introduces no incompatibilities with applications using
1.14.0 or beyond, so the upgrade should be painless. Of course I trust
you to do your share of testing and verification anyway;-)


Alrighty then,

Thomas
