Thank you!

Nagachika, I think r44751 is also needed to backport.

Hello Aaron,

Coverity Scan found a possible bug in "initialize" function of ext/fiddle/closure.c:

> result = ffi_prep_closure(pcl, cif, callback, (void *)self);
> ...
> i = mprotect(pcl, sizeof(pcl), PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC)

I don't understand the code completely, but the size of the pointer does not seem to make sense.
Perhaps, "sizeof(pcl)" should be "sizeof(*pcl)".

The same applies to dealloc:

> munmap(cls->pc1, sizeof(cls->pc1));


BTW, ffi_prep_closure seems deprecated.
We should use ffi_prep_closure_loc instead when it is available.
