Stefan Bodewig commented on COMPRESS-163:
-----------------------------------------
After applying John's other patches from COMPRESS-16 with 1211892 for
COMPRESS-165 it now is the output stream that throws if a big file is added
(and star extensions haven't been enabled). So I've removed the adjustSize
again and changed setSize as this patch suggested.
