>Description:
NetBSD uses zlib V1.0.4 which is quite old now. The current
version is 1.1.3 -- see http://www.cdrom.com/pub/infozip/zlib/
How about importing the newer sources? I recently observed
strange problems using the old version in one of our projects
-- maybe others will run into trouble someday, too?
