Re: CVS 1.12.13 hangs when getting gnulib

Hi Paul,

It seems it was pilot error on my part when I was
unable to reproduce your problem. The cvs 1.12.13
I was using for the test was actually an
unreleased version of cvs (1.12.13.1 top-of-tree
FEATURE). Sorry about the confusion.

I was able to reproduce the problem when I used a
stock unmodified cvs 1.12.13.

Your problem is the same problem as was reported
in [bug #14840]. I include a copy of the patch as
applied to the CVS FEATURE branch sources after my
.signature.

This patch will be a part of cvs 1.12.14 when it
is eventually released.

In the mean time, feel free to forward this patch
to your upstream distribution provider for their
use.

        Enjoy!

        [bug #14840]
        * zlib.c (compress_bufer_input): Don't assume the number of bytes the
        caller requested will be available from the stream underlying the
        compression buffer - the data is compressed and should be shorter by
        definition.  Improve comment.
