Motivations: It seems that slicing a buffer and using this slice to write to CTX will decrease the initial refCnt to 0, while the original buffer is not yet fully used (not empty). Modifications: As suggested in the ticket and tested, when the currentBuffer is sliced since it will still be used later on, the currentBuffer is retained. Add a test case for this issue. Result:: The currentBuffer still has its correct refCnt when reaching the last write (not sliced) of 1 and therefore will be released correctly. The exception does no more occur. This fix should be applied to all branches >= 4.0.

How to build
For the detailed information about building and developing Netty, please visit the developer guide. This page only gives very basic information.
You require the following to build Netty:
- Latest stable Oracle JDK 7
- Latest stable Apache Maven
- If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
The 'master' branch is where the development of the latest major version lives on. The development of all other major versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to its major version number. For example, the development of 3.x and 4.x resides in the branch '3' and the branch '4' respectively.
