hrev43394 adds 1 changeset to branch 'master' old head: b39f919dbfabd409668fd9c8e137292f22a3d9e9 new head: e62d9911eac981cb93a1f972adf4305c7edf07ad ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- e62d991: Allocate as much as is later read, didn't do harm though. Further in the process the flat argument size is rounded up, but the actual allocation was done with the unaligned size causing an access beyond the allocation when later copying the flat arguments. It didn't do any actual harm as the block sizes of our allocator(s) use elements that have at least such an alignment.
