Right, for lzo/lzo-rle we need a safety page.

It also seems that there is no common way of reporting dst_but overflow.
Some algos return -ENOSPC immediately, some don't return anything at all,
and deflate does it's own thing - there are these places where they see
they are out of out space but they Z_OK it

if (s->pending != 0) {
	flush_pending(strm);
	if (strm->avail_out == 0) {
		/* Since avail_out is 0, deflate will be called again with
		 * more output space, but possibly with both pending and
		 * avail_in equal to zero. There won't be anything to do,
		 * but this is not an error situation so make sure we
		 * return OK instead of BUF_ERROR at next call of deflate:
		 */
		s->last_flush = -1;
		return Z_OK;
	}
