Description Kevin Toyama 2011-05-25 14:37:49 UTC 
Description of problem:
hitting this bug:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3352 
CRC not correctly computed on x64 during decompression of gzip archive

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
boost-1.41.0-11.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
install:
boost-devel-1.41.0-11.el6.x86_64
boost-iostreams-1.41.0-11.el6.x86_64
boost-system-1.41.0-11.el6.x86_64

Compile the attached C++ program:
Put both test.cpp and test.gz in the current directory.
make test CXXFLAGS="-O3 -m64" LDFLAGS="-lboost_iostreams-mt -lboost_system-mt"

Verify the test.gz attached is in the same directory as the new executable.
zcat test.gz | wc -l
41320

Here's the expected output, which I get when test.cpp is compiled on RHEL6 Beta 1 (boost-1.39.0-8.1.el6.x86_64):
./test
41320

Note that it matches the output of the previous command.

Here's the result when this is compiled on current RHEL6:
./test
Error reading input: 41313
  
Actual results:
Error reading input: 41313


Expected results:
41320

Candidate fix

I believe that this should fix the problem.  I'll go ahead and verify whether it actually does.
Comment 5 Petr Machata 2011-06-23 13:00:59 UTC 
It does.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-05 23:52:55 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.
Comment 11 Jonathan Underwood 2012-05-10 23:37:08 UTC 
This seems to have been fixed already in 1.41.0-11.1 - presumably this bug should be closed?
Comment 12 Petr Machata 2012-05-11 21:57:33 UTC 
This is kept open for process-related reasons.
Comment 13 Jiri Pallich 2012-10-09 12:42:23 UTC 
Since this is a parent bug of an issue that has already been released via Z-Stream (e.g. rhel-6.3.z), this bug is going to be CLOSED as CURRENTRELEASE.
Comment 14 Jonathan Underwood 2012-10-10 16:25:57 UTC 
Z-stream? What's that?
