[SOLVED with elinks-git]zlib update breaks elinks

After the latest upgrade of zlib (from 1.2.3.4-4-i686 to 1.2.3.7-1-i686) elinks doesn't render some sites at all.  One example is bbs.archlinux.org and another www.met.ie.  Downgrading to 1.2.3.4-4 is a workaround.

Any thoughts on what I can do to find what's causing the error and to whom I should report the bug(?)

regards

1.2.3.7-2 has just hit the repos and may help your issue.

Re: [SOLVED with elinks-git]zlib update breaks elinks

I can confirm the issue with the latest zlib. It may not be zlib's faul like in case of libxml2. It does not crash at all. Maybe it's best to contact elinks authors here.

We might consider compiling elinks --without-zlib as a workaround.

Can also confirm with latest zlib - should I file a bug with the elinks developers ?

See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18064 You might want a more recent (development version of elinks)
