Hi,

I have just finished (and attached) a patch for the latest CVS-release
of OCaml, which adds a new marshalling flag.  This flag generates a
different marshalling format, which uses absolute addresses to refer
to shared values.  This fixes the problem of bad compressibility of
marshalled OCaml data.  See the patch header for more information.

Since the patch is quite small and does not break any existing code,
we'd be very grateful if it could be made part of the next
OCaml-release.  I'll also enter the patch into the OCaml bugtracker so
that people running into the same problem can find it there, too.

Best regards,
Markus
