-Dmad: double free or corruption

Change 6136c70 changed S_scan_ident from:

   e = d + destlen - 3;

to:

   register char * const e = d + destlen + 3;

where e is used to mark the end of the buffer, this meant that the
various buffer end checks allowed the various buffers supplied
S_scan_ident to overflow.

Attached is a fix, various tests with fencepost checks on different
identifier lengths, and the specific case mentioned in the ticket.
