Noted, thank you for the information. I don't understand much the problem
you spotted since the change only applies to decompression while the patch
above seems to only adjust the compression patterns (I don't know how the
compression tests work though). Also, for the fix to behave differently,
it requires slightly more than 16 million consecutive 255 bytes to trigger
the error path, which the commit above doesn't seem to perform.

But I'm queuing this patch anyway.

Thanks!
Willy
