Bug #5928: Buffer error when inflating compressed data with Zlib
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5928

Author: Juan Pablo Genovese
Status: Open

I tried to google a solution for this issue, but no luck at all.

How to reproduce:

 require 'zlib'
 zs = Zlib::Inflate.new
 contents = File.read("tzlib-clean.txt")
 res = zs.inflate(contents)
 zs.finish if zs
 zs.close

This code will raise a Zlib::BufError exception.
I expect that this code will successfully uncompress the zlib compressed data in the file.
I don't know how to provide a debugger backtrace, but I will gladly do so if someone explains that to me.
