As far as I can tell zlib is performing correctly here, the man-db process doing the decompression exits correctly having detected EOF and closed the file, then exits. The read() that's spinning with zero bytes is certainly not a zlib one, it reads data in 16384 byte chunks but that's a read of 65535 bytes (and the man-db debug output says the process that's spinning is a manconv one. That said, I can't immediately spot a problem in the man-db code and reverting the explict reporting of EOF in zlib makes man-db stop falling over so I'll upload a package just now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
