distcc 2.15 released
I released distcc 2.15, which fixes a nasty bug in LZO compression which had been hanging around for a while. It turned out to be just a one line fix, but it was hard to find the problem because it only occurred intermittently and the failure happened a long time after the error. Basically I accidentally unmapped a too-long region of memory, clobbering whatever happened to be there.
I knew last time I changed it that this function was too long to be safe. I should have pulled things out to make it more obviously correct, which is what I have done now. It wasn't even a particularly complex function — certainly not unmaintainable — but large enough that it should have raised a warning.
