In the changelog there was a mention of the following bug:
* Alan Modra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- fixed an hard to spot
bug breaking gunzip checksum checking.
unfortunatly, that was corrected (or at least supposed to be )-; ) in 0.52...
0.60.2 has a few interesting fixes over 0.60.1 (which Dactstein uses) but none of them
seem to have anything to do with gzip/gunzip...
From the CVS logs I could see mentions of some size optimizations for gzip and the
replacement
of one function call (strdup) to another (xstrdup) (but no mention of why it was
done...).
What would be the best way to report/test for that bug? I was thinking of something
along the lines
of downloading the most recent version, compiling it & running it from a full
distribution & report
the bug if it still happens with the most recent version. Sounds good?
Thanks!
Nick
