Fix issues with left shifts by >=29 places resulting in: a) realloc acting as free b) realloc allocating too few bytes c) undefined behavior Fix integer overflow on variable m_groupSize in function doProlog leading to realloc acting as free. Impact is denial of service or other undefined behavior. Prevent integer overflows near memory allocation at multiple places.
