Description

I've found that xmp plugin for XMPlay, based on the current v4.3.9, crashes on pretty much all DMF files I've tried. This is most likely a problem directly to be found in libxmp itself.

Research direction

Reproduce the crash with the linked DMF example through the XMPlay xmp plugin, then trace the failure into libxmp's DMF handling. Done means the example and other DMF files no longer crash; the issue does not name specific source files or tests to run.
