Update zlib:zwindowbits/0 type to accept 8 and -8
Commit 7e8f5a776cbfa376e03369d058a90c8dd9f217fc (importing R11B-3) updated zlib, which had changed what values it accepts for window bits from 9-15 to 8-15. From deflate.c: - windowBits < 9 || windowBits > 15 || level < 0 || level > 9 || - strategy < 0 || strategy > Z_HUFFMAN_ONLY) { + windowBits < 8 || windowBits > 15 || level < 0 || level > 9 || + strategy < 0 || strategy > Z_FIXED) { return Z_STREAM_ERROR; } + if (windowBits == 8) windowBits = 9; /* until 256-byte window bug fixed */ In inflate.c 8 was already an accepted value. This commit updates OTP to also accept the values 8 and -8.
