R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Nick's point is that we should be testing both the value 0 and the value -1, 
but that we should expect 0 to fail only if zlib.ZLIB_VERSION is less than 
1.2.4.  So you'll need to update your patch to keep the 0 test but put it 
inside an appropriate conditional.

The original problem may be in 2.5, but we are doing security updates only for 
2.5, so the fix won't backported to 2.5.  (At least not by us, distributors are 
of course free to patch their own distributions of earlier python versions.)

I'm not sure what your last comment about the default means.
