PNG files read from an mk4vfs can fail to be read.  Likely an issue in vfs::zstreamed in tclvfs.

It happens on non-KitCreator Tclkits too.

It works in the trivial case posted previously, but fails with the following kit:
http://code.google.com/p/wubwikit/downloads/detail?name=wub-20100922.kit

In the kit:
<verbatim>
% set fd [open cross.png]
mk7
% fconfigure $fd -encoding binary
% set data [read $fd]; puts [string length $data]
654
% file stat cross.png x
% parray x
x(atime)   = 1285147347
x(blksize) = 135312827
x(blocks)  = 583863729869319636
x(ctime)   = 1285147347
x(dev)     = -143965300
x(gid)     = 0
x(ino)     = 0
x(mode)    = 33279
x(mtime)   = 1285147347
x(nlink)   = 1
x(size)    = 655
x(type)    = file
x(uid)     = 0
</verbatim>

Still not sure where this is failing.

<verbatim>
% mk::loop x db.dirs!90.files { puts "$x, [mk::get $x name]" }
db.dirs!90.files!0, cross.png
db.dirs!90.files!1, tick.png
db.dirs!90.files!2, tclp.gif
% mk::view info db.dirs!90.files  
name size:I date:I contents:B
% mk::get db.dirs!90.files!0 size
655
% string length [mk::get db.dirs!90.files!0 contents]
655
% mk::get db.dirs!90.files!0 -size contents
655
%
</verbatim>

Oh, wait I did "-encoding binary" in my second test where it should have been "-translation binary".

Using "-translation binary" causes it to be read correctly.

<verbatim>
% set fd [open cross.png r]
mk7
% fconfigure $fd -translation binary         
% set data [read $fd]; puts [string length $data]
655
% binary scan $data H* data_hex
1
</verbatim>

The issue only occurs when using <nowiki>[fcopy]</nowiki> and mk4vfs channels without direct mode.

Simple test:
<verbatim>
vfs::mk4::Mount test.mk /TEST
set fd [open /TEST/cross.png]
fconfigure $fd -translation binary
set out [open /dev/null w]
set ::fcopy_complete 0
proc fcopy_complete {args} { set ::fcopy_complete 1 }
fcopy $fd $out -command fcopy_complete
after 3000
update
puts "FCOPY: $fcopy_complete"
</verbatim>

P. Thoyts came up with a patch for this:  http://github.com/patthoyts/kitgen/commit/3ee246892b79bb83c8c96a2646124c6da94bbd3e

<hr /><i>rkeene added on 2010-10-16 21:15:12:</i><br />
Patch from P. Thoyts fixes the problem, but the test case segfaults on exit.

Backtrace follows:
