Thanks!

Which zlib and glib versions did you use to build xdelta?

It's not strange.  See the description of the gzip file format in the
file algorithm.doc (in the gzip distribution): byte 10 is the code of
the OS on which the compression was done.  The original Emacs pretest
was tarred on something Unixy, whereas you patched it on Windows.
