    Description

      1. To visualize the problem without a debugger or memory limits, add the attached patch.
        It just adds a qDebug() to show which value is being passed into QByteArray::resize().
      2. Build Qt with that patch.
      3. Build the attached project on this build of Qt.
      4. Run the resulting program with the attached input.
        You'll see:
        Allocating 1
        Allocating 2147483641
        

        Allocating 2 GiB of memory doesn't seem appropriate for an 8 byte file.

      This is a regression from Qt 5.15. There, you'll only see:

      Allocating 1
