Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-08-12 20:46:40 UTC 
I'd rather get a fixed-for-zlib netscape to go out with this...
Comment 2 Mark J. Cox 2002-08-13 07:29:29 UTC 
Netscape have said that the zlib they use is old and not vulnerable to the
double free issue (the zlib in the plugins is vulnerable however)
