Description

Pattern-matching on large (>64B) Erlang binaries merely produces slices of objects on the Refc heap. Therefore Thrift binary and compact protocols should clone all binaries they send to upper levels, otherwise there's a chance that transport-level messages will be never freed.

Patch is underway.
