Alright, I've been working through this and have made a few improvements
(the big comment block at the top of pg_lzcompress.c needed updating,
among a couple other minor things), but I was trying to wrap my head
around this:

+/* ----------
+ * toast_decompress_datum_slice -
+ *
+ * Decompress the front of a compressed version of a varlena datum.
+ * offset handling happens in heap_tuple_untoast_attr_slice.
+ * Here we just decompress a slice from the front.
+ */
+static struct varlena *
+toast_decompress_datum_slice(struct varlena *attr, int32 slicelength)
+{
+       struct varlena *result;
+       int32 rawsize;
+
+       Assert(VARATT_IS_COMPRESSED(attr));
+
+       result = (struct varlena *) palloc(slicelength + VARHDRSZ);
+       SET_VARSIZE(result, slicelength + VARHDRSZ);
+
+       rawsize = pglz_decompress(TOAST_COMPRESS_RAWDATA(attr),
+                                               VARSIZE(attr) - 
TOAST_COMPRESS_HDRSZ,
+                                               VARDATA(result),
+                                               slicelength, false);
+       if (rawsize < 0)
                elog(ERROR, "compressed data is corrupted");
 
+       SET_VARSIZE(result, rawsize + VARHDRSZ);
        return result;
 }

Specifically, the two SET_VARSIZE() calls, do we really need both..?
Are we sure that we're setting the length correctly there..?  Is there
any cross-check we can do?
 
I have to admit that I find the new argument to pglz_decompress() a bit
awkward to describe and document; if you have any thoughts as to how
that could be improved, that'd be great.

Thanks!

Stephen
