<p>The code changes that resulted in the performance improvements
   in [version 3.8.4] missed a single buffer overflow test, which could
   result in a read past the end of a buffer while searching a database
   that is corrupted in a particular way.  [Version 3.8.4.2] fixes that
   problem using a
   [http://www.sqlite.org/src/fdiff?v1=e45e3f9daf38c5be&v2=714df4e1c82f629d&sbs=1|one-line patch].

<p>We are not aware of any problems in [version 3.8.4]
   when working with well-formed database files.  The problem fixed by this
   release only comes up when reading corrupt database files.
