[erlang-bugs] zlib binary fails to round trip

[Paul Mineiro]

Gentlemen,

I can only reproduce this on a feisty box running 11b-2 (my bad, didn't
notice the version difference at first). My mac has 11b-5 and doesn't have
the problem.

However, the problem under 11b-2 is data dependent so it's possible that
it still exists under 11b-5 and we just don't know how to tickle it.  Do
you have an 11b-2 setup you can fire up to investigate?

I've attached a file called "mega" with the bad data in it to
disambiguate.

Thanks,

Optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation. How else can the
individual favor change over security?
