Yeah, i noticed that and this is why i added this bit from Brian's explanation
to the end of the commit:
The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read
because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place.
I should have fixed the original changelog instead of trying to clarify it via
appending it ...
Thanks,
Ingo
