Comment (by nickm):

 > In configure.ac: would it make sense to only allow memory-sentinels if
 either oss-fuzz or libfuzzer is enabled?

 I don't think so, because that doesn't include AFL_FUZZ.

 > Minor nitpick: maybe remove the uncommented #define DEBUG_SENTINEL in
 buffers.c?

 Whoops.  That change wasn't supposed to go in.
