FYI,

    the  huge memory allocation problem of the PGLZ compressor is
    fixed.  It uses a fixed, static history table, organized as a
    double linked list, now.

    No performance loss on small- to medium-sized attributes. But
    a win on huge (multi-MB) attributes because  of  much  lesser
    memory consumption.
