On that note, i'm not exactly sure which code actually miscompiles.
I though its pamenc, but the generated files are identical, then I
though its the crc computing code (crcenc/adler32), but those seem
fine as well and would likely screw up in more then one case if they
would miscompile.

So that leaves pnmdec, I suppose, but I didn't make much headway to
poke around in that. If anyone has any handy hints how to find the
code in question that might be helpful.
Maybe the code is actually not-quite-right and might enjoy some straigtening.
