Hello, Quick mail to say that although I had no time to work on the issue, I did a quick investigation and confirmed that the problem comes from the DEFLATE library I use (TINFL, from the Miniz suite). This library behaves differently when compiled under DJGPP (FDNPKG) and Watcom (FDINST). In the latter case, it consistently fails on some deflated streams.
I will have to replace this library by something else - most probably I will pick zlib, since that's what everyone seem to be using (and I don't see many alternatives anyway).
