18 /* In the worst case, the compressed file will not be longer than its
19 * original length * 23/22 + 4.
21 * The additive constant is for EOF and the header of the file.
23 * The multiplicative constant comes from 19-byte incompressible string
24 * followed by a 3-sequence that can be compressed into 2-byte link. This
25 * breaks the copy-mode and it needs to be restarted with a new header. The
26 * total length is 2(header) + 19(string) + 2(link) = 23.
