I have pretty much eliminated the possibility that some CVS nastiness
with line endings could cause the problem - I tested with a checkout via
a cvs that translates line endings, one that does not (cygwin's), and
the nightly snapshot. All gave clean results with the fix in, dirty with
it removed. Presumably it must be a function of either the OS or the
MSys/MinGW setup.

My System:
  W2K
  5.00.2195
  SP4
  x86 Family 6 model 8
  MSys 1.0.10
  MinGW 3.1.0-1

Command used to test: "./configure --without-zlib; make check"

At this stage I have no clue as to what systems might/might not need the
fix.
