git-fast-import possible memory corruption problem
Internal "allocate in bulk, we will never free this memory anyway" allocator used in fast-import had a logic to round up the size of the requested memory block in a wrong place (it computed if the available space is enough to fit the request first, and then carved a chunk of memory by size rounded up to the alignment, which could go beyond the actually available space).
