I've had a couple of bug reports against the Debian package reporting
crashes while inflating things.  Sadly, these have been in non-free or
otherwise unobtainable software so I've not been able to confirm that
the problem being seen is the same as is fixed by 1.2.1.1 (hopefully one
of the bug submitters will be able to do so).
