Comment (by annakrat):

 I would say it is related to the fact that `to_ptr` is unsigned char, so
 it can overflow fast, although I don't understand the algorithm there.
 Note the comment in the code:
 {{{
 /* if MAPTYPE is changed to unsigned short, MAX_DIST can be set to 2^16-2
  * (if short is 2 bytes)
  */
 }}}
 So I would try to change it to unsigned short. Unfortunately I can't
 easily test the testcase, I have little memory right now.
