Unfortunately it does not work well if the user request only one pixel, in this case we allocate the array of one element and does not multiply the size by the scale, so if the system scale is 2 then the macOS returns the 2x2 pixels, which does not fit properly to the array of one element. This can be checked by the Xcheck:jni option which produce fatal error in this case.

I think increasing the buffer according to the scale is correct as the `scale` × `scale` image where `scale != 1` can't fit into the buffer of size 1.

It may not fix other bugs or test failures; buffer overrun is not a good thing and it's fixed.
