Incompatibility of svn-1696 with FlashDAAPv0.3

[mas]

I tested all the combinations of

mt-daapd-svn-1586
mt-daapd-svn-1696

with

FlashDAAP.swf v0.2
FlashDAAP.swf v0.3

Precisely the combination of mt-daapd-svn-1696 with Bo Mellbergs FlashDAAP.swf v0.3 causes a fully reproducible crash of the mt-daapd server:

ALL other combinations do work flawlessly. Something that v0.3 sends to the DAAP server is misinterpreted there and causes the server daemon to drop. Dunno if the v0.3 does something that it isnt supposed to but whatever it is, it should not be able to crash the mt-daapd server so theres a bug here definitly.
