DOS ain't dead

p7zip 9.13b with FSU pthreads (Announce)

Thank you, what a wonderful gift! After testing, your version does seem more stable, and it works perfectly for me with the delta filter, and -mx9 mode works well on all files now. With david's compile, neither worked, but crashed with SIGSERV errors. Also, most remarkably, this version is only 905kb uncompressed, and 355kb UPX'd. Nearly *half* the size of the other versions! Great reduction in bloat!

The only 'problem' or bug I notice is that your version still has the PKUNZIP bug where the created .ZIP files are tagged for UNIX (0x03) in the .ZIP headers, and ideally they should be for DOS (0x00). I seem unable to patch your binary like I did with Rugulxo's p7zip compile of 4.65. In that other thread.
