[issue1098] decode_unicode doesn't nul-terminate

[Adam Olsen]

New submission from Adam Olsen:

In the large else branch in decode_unicode (if encoding is not NULL or
"iso-8859-1"), the new string it produces is not nul-terminated.  This
then hits PyUnicode_DecodeUnicodeEscape's octal escape case, which reads
past the end of the string (but would stop if there was a nul there.)

I found this via valgrind.
