Crash observed while trying to fetch AMQP headers in rabbitmq-c 0.11.0

[Binduts]

Hi ,
We recently upgraded from 0.7.0 to 0.11.0. With the latest version(0.11.0) we are observing crash while fetching AMQP headers.
Basically we have applications written in Java and C++. For c++ applications we are using rabbitmq-c 0.11.0 version. Java based applications are using spring-rabbit version is 2.3.10. There is an exchange of messages between c++ and java via RMQ.
Scenario :
When Java based applications are setting empty AMQP headers (key is set , but value is either not set or set to NULL) , C++ applications are crashing while fetching it.

When run on valgrind , we observed invalid read at AMQPMessage::addHeader() due to un-initialized heap.
orign source of un-initialized block was pointing to malloc() at amqp_decode_table() in amqp_table.c

we tried initializing the memory using memset() after malloc(). With this we are not observing crash and able fetch the headers correctly.
entries = malloc(allocated_entries * sizeof(amqp_table_entry_t));
memset(entries, 0, allocated_entries * sizeof(amqp_field_value_t));

Please note that this issue was not observed with rabbitmq-c 0.7.0.
Also we do not observe this if AMQP headers are set and fetched within c++ applications using rabbitmq-c 0.11.0.

Kindly please check on this. If the workaround we applied is a valid fix , please do consider it to fix in your official release.
