[stunnel-users] Problem with zlib compression

[Allan Guild]

I'm having problems with zlib compression - stunnel 4.07 on my client
machne crashes whenever I try and start a session.  With compression set
to rle or not defined, there is no problem.

I am securing a MySQL connection between a Windows client and Mandrake
Linux 10.1 server.

Client Configuration:

Stunnel 4.07 and openssl 0.9.7e-zlib binaries downloaded from Stunnel
website

stunnel.conf
------------
cert=./Allan_Guild_Work.pem
key=./Allan_Guild_Work_key.pem
client=yes
compression=zlib

[Primary Club]
accept=3306
connect=195.137.78.107:3307
TIMEOUTbusy=5
-------------

Server Configuration:

Stunnel 4.07 and openssl 0.9.7e (compiled with zlib support) rebuilt
from Mandrake Cooker SRPMS

stunnel.conf
------------
CApath=/etc/ssl/stunnel/certs/
cert=/etc/ssl/stunnel/CAcert.pem
key=/etc/ssl/stunnel/CAkey.pem
client=no
foreground=yes
pid=/var/run/stunnel.pid
verify=0
compression=zlib

[Primary Club]
accept=3307
connect=3306
------------

When I try and connect, I get the following output from the client
(which then crashes):

-------------

and the following from the server:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated (Do I need a zlib dll?),
