I'm sorry that I haven't noticed/checked that before, but when trying to
perform check-world with Valgrind I've discovered another issue presumably
related to LZ4File_gets().
When running under Valgrind:
PROVE_TESTS=t/002_pg_dump.pl make check -C src/bin/pg_dump/
I get:
...

It looks like the line variable returned by gets_func() here is not
null-terminated:
     while ((CFH->gets_func(line, MAXPGPATH, CFH)) != NULL)
     {
...
         if (sscanf(line, "%u %" CppAsString2(MAXPGPATH) "s\n", &oid, lofname) != 2)
...
And Valgrind doesn't like it.

Best regards,
