+1, thanks for taking care of that.

As far as my original complaint about mamba goes, I've not quite
been able to run it to ground. However, I found that NetBSD
seems to be shipping unmodified zlib 1.2.11, which contains a
number of known bugs in deflate_stored() --- that is, the code
path implementing compression level 0. Red Hat for one is
carrying several back-patched fixes in that part of zlib.
So for the moment I'm willing to write it off as "not our bug".
We aren't intentionally testing compression level 0, and hardly
anybody would intentionally use it in the field, so it's not
really a thing worth worrying about IMO. But if mamba continues
to show failures in that test then it will be worth looking closer.

regards, tom lane
