The mppe_decompress() function required a buffer that is 1 byte too small when
receiving a message of mru size. This fixes buffer allocation to prevent this
from occurring.

As Sergey Vlasov pointed out,
ppp_mppe-account-for-osize-too-small-errors-in.patch
may cause buffer overflows on certain data. Here is another patch that should
eliminate the "osize too small" errors. Instead of patching mppe_decompress
itself, I have patched ppp_decompress_frame so it would allocate the required
extra byte when using mppe compression.
I didn't have a chance to check this patch carefully yet, but it seem to be
working as expected. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
