+ o Minor bugfixes (pointer arithmetic):
+ - Fix a bug in memarea_alloc() that could have resulted in remote heap
+ write access, if Tor had ever passed an unchecked size to
+ memarea_alloc(). Fortunately, all the sizes we pass to memarea_alloc()
+ are pre-checked to be less than 128 kilobytes. Fixes bug 19150; bugfix
+ on 0.2.1.1-alpha. Bug found by Guido Vranken.
