Bug #44796: valgrind: too many my_longlong10_to_str_8bit
warnings after uncompressed_length UNCOMPRESSED_LENGTH() did not validate its argument. In particular, if the argument length was less than 4 bytes, an uninitialized memory value was returned as a result. Since the result of COMPRESS() is either an empty string or a 4-byte length prefix followed by compressed data, the bug was fixed by ensuring that the argument of UNCOMPRESSED_LENGTH() is either an empty string or contains at least 5 bytes (as done in UNCOMPRESS()). This is the best we can do to validate input without decompressing.
