Bugfix release for a crash regression introduced in 1.5.20. An optimization made to the slab page mover in 1.5.20 could cause segfaults in a specific situation.
When moving page memory containing a chunked (> 512K) item header, and the item is expired, but not yet reaped by LRU crawler or other mechanisms, the attached chunks would leak. If later the page mover tries to move the memory for these page chunks, it will no longer be able to find the proper header item, eventually causing a crash.
Thanks to the folks on github who reported this bug!
