Log Message:
-----------
do boundary check based on absolute value (Glauber  Costa)

For backward operations, dstpitch and srcpitch can
be negative. This leads BLTUNSAFE macro into an
overflow, and as a result, it avoids performing
operations that are perfectly valid.

The visible effect that led to that patch was the gnome-panel
bar in Fedora10. Before this patch, you could see garbage
clobbering a big portion of the bar.

After this patch, this garbage is gone.
