Comment (by brian.pratt_at_[hidden]):

 I notice a typo in the bug description, I meant to say "without small
 hack", of course.   Oops.

 Near as I can tell the problem is that when NO_ZLIB is defined to 0 it
 still triggers the logic, as if it's an ifdef instead of an if, if you see
 what I mean.

 Here's my change as a unified diff against trunk as requested:
