Well, actually that bug was reported about three months after 1.1.3 was 
released and I immediately provided a patch to fix it.  This was around 
June 1999.  It was entirely my mistake that I didn't realize the import 
of the patch and release a new zlib right away.  It wasn't until a CERT 
advisory on the bug almost three years later that we released a new 
version.
