[Fwd: Re: [Caml-list] Cryptokit.Zlib uncompressing fails to terminate (fwd) (Patch)]



Hi,

I don't really know what it's worth but maybe could this patch be included in the cryptokit debian package.

Regards,

Samuel.

Hello,

I have been unable to contact Xavier Leroy directly, so im reposting this
message here. Few more words about the stream that takes uncompress into
an endless loop, it is %100 valid zlib compressed data with 2 additional
(gzip's crc and length) words at the end.

Hello Xavier,



I noticed that uncompressing partially valid stream with
Cryptokit.Zlib.uncompress() fails to terminate.
http://www.boblycat.org/~malc/fail.tgz (489 bytes)
Contains minimal testcase (Makefile + OCaml source)

I would apreciate any info on the subject.

Following "fixes" it.
