length sometimes had a strange default value

     * Bad display of parser bug report
     * docSQL and filename disclosure
     * Row count and DISTINCT

     * Security fix against bad JS code
     * Proper escaping in inline images
     * Safari detection and proper fonts
     * PDF schema and hardcoded A4 scaling
