So the extra ZFREE() in infblock.c was the culprit:
http://cvs.samba.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/rsync/zlib/infblock.c.diff?r1=1.4&r2=1.5&f=h
Wrt the bandaid, on both Solaris and FreeBSD the manpage says ``If ptr is
NULL, no action occurs.''. So it sounds like there are platforms where
free(NULL) does cause a crash.
