Can you bump the size up to 2GB? I suspect the problem inside of zstd
is an off-by-one error or something similar, so getting closer to the limit
shouldn't be a problem. I’d feel more comfortable with 2GB, since
kernels can get pretty large.

Hmm, zstd shouldn’t be overflowing that value. I’m currently preparing
a patch to updating the version of zstd in the kernel, and using upstream
directly. I will add a test upstream in 32-bit mode to ensure that we don’t
overflow a 32-bit size_t, so this will be fixed after the update.
