Do not use zlib 1.1.3 with git packs!

Hi,

I had a strange effect when trying to repack a git repository on my iBook: 
first, "git-repack -a -d" would quit without an error message when about 
57% of the objects were written (*not* when deltifying them!).

It became even stranger when I tracked it to a segmentation fault in 
adler32(), where the debugger insisted that a buffer was NULL, but the 
calling code insisted it was not.

Upgrading to zlib 1.2.3 helped. That is, after I had a complete systen 
fsck-up, since virtually every binary, including su, login and getty, are 
linked to zlib on Mac OS X. (Yeah, yeah, no Linux, I know.)

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: This _might_ be related to the git-repack issue that came up a few 
days ago.
