[jhc] trouble with jhc 0.7.1

[David Roundy]

Oddly enough, reinstalling zlib seems to have fixed it.  I guess what
happened was that when my hard drive died and I restored my home
directory from backup, on the reinstall I had a different version of
zlib, since I switched back to debian from ubuntu.  Who would have
guessed?  I wonder what the Haskell zlib package does that is so
sensitive to zlib version number? I'd be very surprised if they broke
ABI compatibility without changing the soname...
