+Subject: [PATCH 1/1] split: do not shrink hold buffer
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+* src/split.c (line_bytes_split): Do not shrink hold buffer.
+If it’s large for this batch it’s likely to be large for the next
+batch, and for ‘split’ it’s not worth the complexity/CPU hassle to
+shrink it.  Do not assume hold_size can be bufsize.
