Starts eating infinite amount of memory when borders are larger than the whole window. #130

To reproduce:

Set border size to something like 100 (why is this called border size, if it is padding?) echo 'st.borderpx: 100' | xrdb launch xst, and make window as small as possible. Congradulations! If you have swap your computer is now frozen, can trigger OOM killer by yourself using sysrq + f

I had problems with this even on 5px borders.

0.8.4.1 btw

this bug is amazing -- realized I've never caught it because I actually have borderpx set to 0

notes:

can't recreate upstream
thought it might be cursortype (borderpx used in some kinds) but that's not it
