Hi,

Please help review the change to upgrade the zlib bundled with jdk/jre from 1.2.5 to 1.2.8. This is mainly to address the bug fix mentioned in 1.2.8's release at zlib.net. "Version 1.2.8 fixes a very rare bug in decompression. All users are encouraged to upgrade immediately..." http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8044725/webrev This looks good to me. The issue is remainder that we should consider switching the default to --with-zlib=system from bundled, at least for Linux and Solaris (already done on OS X, not feasible on Windows).
