When I was doing the windows port a huge number of bcftools failures were down 
to variation in the last digit of a floating point number - ie rounding 
differences.   I haven't looked at this particular issue, but we really need a 
more robust comparison mechanism to determine equality.

The other thing we need to be careful of is assuming zlib.  There are many 
equally valid deflate streams, but IIRC using say the intel deflate causes the 
test harness to fail too.
