Description:The file codecs/gsm/src/code.c uses a static variable "e" that it is passing down into a lower level function.  The original author in patch level 12 moved it into the gsm_state structure, but that really isn't necessary.  All that needs to be done is to make it a temporary local variable by removing the "static" qualifier.  The bug does not affect decoding, only encoding.

You can either use the patch I submitted which is simpler, or get the updated source from the author of libgsm at http://www.quut.com/gsm/gsm-1.0.13.tar.gz

There is a slight revision to the patch.  When something is declared static, the storage is initialized to zero by default.  Temporary stack variables have no such initialization, so the e[50] array has to be cleared.

Thanks for the patch, I just dropped it on the SVN.
