commit 84fe0ffd685627689bbbcd14cf419938f2a100b2
Author: Peter Todd <pete@petertodd.org>

    Increase IsStandard() scriptSig length

    Removes the limits on number of pubkeys for P2SH CHECKMULTISIG outputs.
    Previously with the 500 byte scriptSig limit there were odd restrictions
    where even a 1-of-12 P2SH could be spent in a standard transaction(1),
    yet multisig scriptPubKey's requiring more signatures quickly ran out of
    scriptSig space.

    From a "stuff-data-in-the-blockchain" point of view not much has changed
    as with the prior commit now only allowing the dummy value to be null
    the newly allowed scriptSig space can only be used for signatures. In
    any case, just using more outputs is trivial and doesn't cost much.
