Sorry, I expected that you know about this already. Anyway, here is a link: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2012-February/031066.html quoting: > This release of zlib fixed a bug with gzeof() to make its behavior > match that of feof(). gzeof() now returns true only if the last read > went *past* the end of file, not just up to EOF. (written by the OP to the tldistro list). There is also a patch for xetex there. And the response from Karl Berry: http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-live/2012-February/031070.html > (I imagine it's nothing to do with you, but I can't help but say that I > don't think I'd call the old behavior a bug.
