that causes a machine to panic when the kernel PPP / DEFLATE code is used.
1.11 moved a ZFREE to a point after the structural members were clobbered
by stores into a union'd structure.
This commit fixes the bug and adds a big whopping comment to make sure
the code isn't 'cleaned up' again :-)
Ian Dowse came up with the same patch independantly 68 seconds before I
did, talk about Karma!
I would also like to thank Eugene Grosbein for marathon work in tracking the
problem down by udpating his -stable based on date over and over again
to close in on the commit that caused his crashes.

X-MFC after: immediately
is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
2.3.0 -> 2.3.1 changes, but I seem to recall that there are certain
"issues" with 2.3.1 (I'm not sure if it's just pppd or the whole lot, I
am not quite that far). The present pppd seems to work with it just fine
for the time being.
Among the changes are that zlib (aka LZ77 aka deflate aka gzip) compression
is implemented as well as the original compress(1) LZW style.
1: cvs and cvsup don't really support vendor branches other than 1.1.1.x,
this is on 1.1.2.x and causing problems in cvsup 'checkout mode', just the
same as cvs has problems interpreting dates. (cvs has "1.1.1" hard coded)
2: cvs 'rm'ing them takes them off the vendor branch and should hide the
above problems.
3: it's just clutter until the merge is done.
4: if the problem isn't sufficiently resolved by taking these off the
vendor branch, the files will have to be nuked and re-imported.
