    Fix crash in LZMA module when the Sandbox is enabled.
    
    This patch fixes a crash in our LZMA module where liblzma will allocate
    slightly more data than it is allowed to by its limit, which leads to a
    crash.

+  o Major bugfixes (compression):
+    - Fix crash in LZMA module, when the Sandbox is enabled, where
+      liblzma would allocate more than 16 MB of memory.  We solve this
+      by bumping the mprotect() limit in the Sandbox module from 16 MB
+      to 20 MB.  Fixes bug 22751; bugfix on 0.3.1.1-alpha.
