considering how old zlib is and the vast number of windows application which uses zlib
Given how many people duplicate the effort to package zlib, the fact that they're rarely updated, and the sort of problems gnulib exists to work around, it would not surprise me if your particular zlib binary is broken somehow.
got nobody else to blame - because of exactly the issue you outlined encountered in the past, i am building the application with a private copy of the source of zlib 1.2.7.
