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.
