From: Greg Kurz <gr...@kaod.org> The CAS buffer is provided by SLOF. A broken SLOF could pass a silly size: either smaller than the diff header, in which case the current code will try to allocate 16 Exabytes of memory and g_malloc0() will abort, or bigger than the maximum memory provisioned for SLOF (ie, 40 Megabytes), which doesn't make sense. Both cases indicate that SLOF has a bug.
Let's print out an explicit error message and exit since rebooting as we do with other errors would only result in a reset loop.
