We allocate some buffers with a size that's ultimately dictated by on-disk metadata. This metadata can be incorrect and state is supposed to handle that by storing the data redundantly in three buckets.
Due to the use of x-family functions, we triggered a panic though, which made an unfortunate bitflip an irrecoverable error. Fix this by switching the allocations in question to non-panicking ones and propagating the error. This issue has been detected by libfuzzer.
