Summary 0004373: zlib 1.2.4 breaks wireshark (maybe others too)
Description After upgrading a Solaris 10 system running with current/ I could observe zlib related problems with wireshark just like reported elsewhere:

FS#18061 - [wireshark] packet capture trouble with latest zlib
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18061 [^]

For now, downgrading to zlib 1.2.3 helped to fix the problem. There are a couple of related bugs over at the wireshark bug tracker.

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4439 [^]
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4606 [^]

Ben Walton informally reported suspected zlib 1.2.4 issues with libxml2.
http://lists.opencsw.org/pipermail/users/2010-March/008635.html [^]
Additional Information 1.2.4,REV=2010.03.19

Its not a problem with zlib but with the applications (in this case wireshark and libzml2)

Try wireshark 1.2.7 from http://mirror.opencsw.org/experimental.html#hson [^] and let me know if it still doesn't work (I didn't have any problems with the small test I did)
