I think the issue is much larger than just an outdated zlib.hpp... I just
did a simple comparison between the 1.33.1 and 1.34.0 versions of the
iostream library source files. (1.33.1 files from a zip when 1.33.1 was
first released; 1.34.0 files from zip pulled down this morning.) There are
several cases where the files in 1.33.1 are **newer** than the ones in
1.34.0... in many cases by several months:
I looked at the list you generated, and then looked at the rest of the
iostreams library. It appears that several changes were made on the
RC_1_33_0 branch around 20-23 months ago, but that none of those changes
was ever made to what was HEAD at the time. As a result, they were not
picked up as part of the RC_1_34_0 tag.

I was eager to upgrade to the long awaited 1.34.0, but now I am afraid
to do it. We have one use for iostreams, but it's in a major
application that cannot afford problems like memory leaks. I am
considering lifting the iostreams code from 1.33.1, but the build
environment has changed to bjam v2, and I doubt that it would be easy.
