Actually, after reading that closer, the problem only affects the
case where the compressed-data-length passed to the function is
a lie. So it shouldn't be a problem for our usage.
Also, after studying the documentation for LZ4_decompress_safe
and LZ4_decompress_safe_partial, I realized that liblz4 is also
counting on the *output* buffer size to not be a lie. So we
cannot pass it a number larger than the chunk's true decompressed
size. The attached patch resolves the issue I'm seeing.
