The attached patch works around the bug so that it does not show up in
-stable or -current. It's a workaround for GCC bugs in FreeBSD, made by
[EMAIL PROTECTED] some weeks ago. Sorry I didn't see this before now.
Rsync folks: For FreeBSD, I think this is the temporary fix for the port
until GCC is fixed. I don't know if you want to include it in any way.
BTW: http://rsync.samba.org/cvs.html (from the download page on
rsync.samba.org) seems to be lost. Luckily, I had what I needed in
~/.cvspass.
Oliver: may I commit this and revert your changes on the issue?
Greg/Kris: MFC of this file in src/lib/libz/infcodes.c may save a lot of
users for some trouble. The bug rsync suffers from in its home-rolled
zlib 1.1.4 is also reproducable in -stable, I don't see why this isn't
going to apply to other programs that uses zlib.
