[oi-dev] problem with firefox in hipster

[Erol Zavidic]

Alex,

I bumped zlib this week so I have a bit of history here. All symbols from 1.2.3 versions have SUNW_1.2 label and newer are labeled with 1.3. 
The 64bit calls were introduced after 1.2.3 and now carry 1.3 label, have a look at mapfile in zlib directory. 

Cheers,
Erol
