No. I found the _kernel_ malloc bug that among other things usually caused panics when inflate's `slide' buffer was freed at the end of the inflation. John Dyson fixed the bug. PR1063 is about gzipped _applications_ (knews and CRAFT) behaving strangely. It seems unlikely that these are connected, and not easy to prove that the applications are fixed. First you have to discover exactly what broke them... Bruce
