[PATCH v2] Don't smash the event_vec if num_events differs between lib and server.

If the library extension thinks there's more events to an extension than the
server actually has, the event_vec for the overlapping range can get
overwritten. This depends on the initialization order of the libraries.

Changes to previous version:
- whitespaces fixed
- loop now removes all excessive extension handlers (as Julien suggested)
