Note that notmuch dump/restore may not work correctly with zlib 1.2.3 !
I tried a while ago (someone suggested on this mailing list) and got

My 3-year old "supportive patch"
https://notmuchmail.org/pipermail/notmuch/2014/017918.html
still works nicely (building with it on one system and using in two).
