Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  will be fixed in next elinks version; disabling zlib support should do it for now.

Hint: This seems to be fixed in at least the latest git snapshot of elinks. So probably no zlib bug.

elinks-0.12pre5 works fine.

Yes, its an elinks bug. No problems with elinks-git.
Comment by Pierre Schmitz (Pierre) - Saturday, 30 January 2010, 02:02 GMT
No, we don't know if it's an elinks bug or zlib.

Another workaround is compiling without zlib support. That shouldn't break anything.
Comment by Thomas Lucke (Lucky) - Saturday, 30 January 2010, 02:55 GMT
Ok, but tests with links/links-g has no problems with any version of zlib.

I disabled zlib as a workaround for now to at least have a wroking elinks.
