I'm using amd64 with a Core2 Laptop CPU.  I've looked at the issue
from several directions and I believe it's related to the newer
version of zlib doing something in its optimizations that causes the
issue.  I haven't tested this since 2.7.7 came out and according to
zlib's page, this was an issue fixed in 2.7.7, so I will be rebuilding
today and I should know in a few hours if zlib-1.2.5+libxml2-2.7.7
fixes the issue for me.
