I think so too. That's why I was not protecting from corruption at all when proposing c60e520.

Here we can have core dump too if *(srcend+1) produce SegFault:
len = (sp[0] & 0x0f) + 3;
off = ((sp[0] & 0xf0) << 4) | sp[1];
sp += 2;
if (len == 18)
len += *sp++;
if (sp > srcend || off == 0)
break;

And proper protection would cost nonzero time for branches. I think we should not protect against this.
I hope to see lz4 (or something else) in toast and other places one day :)
