Dear Folks;

A very serious bug was reported on pg_lesslog.   So far, I found it's
a bug in pg_compresslog.   Please do not use pg_compresslog and
pg_decompresslog until improved version is uploaded.

I strongly advise to take base backup of your database.

I apologize for inconvenience.   I'll upload the new version ASAP.   
Should this go out on announce? 
I certainly think so.  Anyone who gets caught "by surprise" on this could quite possibly lose all their data!

I (fortunately) caught it during TESTING of my archives - before I needed them.
