Subject std.zlib.decompress may have flawed logic for allocating buffer From Lynn A. <Lynn_member@pathlink.com> Date Mon, 30 Aug 2004 11:21:40 +0000 (UTC) Newsgroups digitalmars.D.bugs It appears there may be a bug in std.zlib.uncompress. The size of the output buffer is apparently estimated from the size of the input, and can be inadequate when the decompression ratio is over 2x. Rather than repeat other info, there is discussion in the following thread from the digitalmars.d newsgroup: "Having problems with uncompress of zip file created by std.zlib" There is a corresponding thread that is more specific about the uncompress behavior, and has more info (including code) at: http://dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=321 HTH, Lynn A.
