In commit 7ec7aa4 (odb: assert on logic errors when writing objects,
2018-02-01), the check for whether we are trying to overflowing the fake
stream buffer was changed from returning an error to raising an assert.
The conversion forgot though that the logic around
asserts arebasically inverted. Previously, if the statement
evaluated to true, we would return a
-1. Now we are asserting thatthis statement is true, and in case it is not we will raise an error. So
the conversion to the
assertin fact changed the behaviour to thecomplete opposite intention.
Fix the assert by inverting its condition again and add a regression
test.
