This test corrupts pack objects by using "dd" with a seek
command. It passes "count=1 bs=1" to munge just a single
byte. However, the test added in commit
b3118bdc wants to
munge two bytes, and the second byte of corruption is
silently ignored.
This turned out not to impact the test, however. The idea
was to reduce the "size of this entry" part of the header so
that zlib runs out of input bytes while inflating the entry.
That header is two bytes long, and the test reduced the
value of both bytes; since we experience the problem if we
are off by even 1 byte, it is sufficient to munge only the
first one.
Even though the test would have worked with only a single
byte munged, and we could simply tweak the test to use a
single byte, it makes sense to lift this 1-byte restriction
from do_corrupt_object. It will allow future tests that do
need to change multiple bytes to do so.
