Something is going terribly wrong with `zstd` here, where it is reported to compress a file of 1.1MB to 2MB. Zstd should never grow the file size by more than a very small percent, like any compressor. Am I interpreting it correctly that you're doing something like `zstd -22 --ultra $FILE && wc -c $FILE.zst`?

If you can reproduce this behavior, can you please file an issue with the zstd version you are using, the commands used, and if possible the file producing this result.
