out.outbuf pointer address is reset to 0 while compressing 74KB text file

[csann]

After calling uzlib_compress, comp.outlen shows my file was compressed from 74KB to around 10KB however the pointer comp->outbuf is set to 0. So I can see the compression performed very well but I cannot access the compressed data.

I have put breakpoints inside of outbits and I can see outbuf has a good pointer for a long while but is eventually corrupted. I do not understand the code well enough to determine what is going wrong, or when it goes wrong.

Do you have any suggestions?
