Actually, I believe the problem actually appeared early in 1.11, is a
general version incompatibility in CVS when compression is in use, no matter
what the zlib provider is, and that NetBSD zlib is simply providing a
better diagnostic message. It may be fixed in 1.11.10; I know that I was
sent a copy of the commit message for the fix in the CVS CVS tree...
