Hi Matthew,
yes.
THis is zlib madness. THey cannot upgrade a minor version and
break backward compatibility, and in additon there is no reason
to change this behaviour, they should introduce a new function.
Assigning to zlib, maintainers of zlib, what is your plan here?
Should we patch xetex (and probably many other packages have to be
fixed, too), or do you intend to fix this misbehaviour?
Best wishes
Norbert
