+
+If a linkhash with a size of zero is created, then modulo operations
+are prone to division by zero operations.
+
+Purely protective measure against bad usage.

+Subject: [PATCH] Fix integer overflows.
+
+The data structures linkhash and printbuf are limited to 2 GB in size
+due to a signed integer being used to track their current size.
+
+If too much data is added, then size variable can overflow, which is
+an undefined behaviour in C programming language.
+
+Assuming that a signed int overflow just leads to a negative value,
+like it happens on many sytems (Linux i686/amd64 with gcc), then
+printbuf is vulnerable to an out of boundary write on 64 bit systems.
