From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0)

Description of problem:
When clients cancel a sz session from a 7.1 Linux server the sz programs dumps 
a core file. Long file transmissions using zip files tend to fail and report 
crc and bad subpacket errors more frequently. Most notably after upgrading past 
kernel 2.4.3-6.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade system from RedHat Network using kernel 7.1 2.4.3-6.
2. Try receiving large zip files over dialup connection.
3. Successful transmissions are rare....
	

Actual Results:  The transmissions act like there are buffer overruns and the 
client gets abnormal number of CRC or bad subpacket failures which did not 
occur on original kernel.

Expected Results:  More consistant transmission successes, less failure, or 
more recovery.

Additional info:

Problem did not persist until system was upgraded from the RedHat network. The 
lrzsz if flaky fro mtime to time anyhow, but it should not seg fault when 
client cancels a download. As for the persistant failures this could be any 
number of things distorded by the kernel and or package upgrades, mor than 
likely a driver problem.

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
Some information on which option may be right for you is available at
