 Hi, r47327 should fix this:

 zlib: GzipReader#rewind preserves ZSTREAM_FLAG_GZFILE
 
 * ext/zlib/zlib.c (gzfile_reset): preserve ZSTREAM_FLAG_GZFILE
   [Bug #10101]
 
 * test/zlib/test_zlib.rb (test_rewind): test each_byte
 
 We must preserve the ZSTREAM_FLAG_GZFILE flag to prevent
 zstream_detach_buffer from:
 
 a) returning Qnil and breaking out of the `each_byte' loop
 b) yielding a large string to each_byte
 
 Note: the test case in bug report takes a long time.  I found this
 bug because I noticed the massive time descrepancy between
 `each_byte' and `readbyte' loop before this patch.  With this patch,
 `each_byte' and `readbyte' both take very long.

 I should be able to help out on zlib in the future (and many bugs
 reproducible without graphical or proprietary dependency).

Bug #10101: Zlib::GzipReader produce different outputs for different methods applied
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10101#change-48575

* Author: Rafael Manzo
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: ext
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-linux]
* Backport: 2.0.0: REQUIRED, 2.1: REQUIRED
----------------------------------------
The methods `read`, `readbyte` and `each_byte` are producing different outputs. Comparing with the unziped file, only the result of readbyte is correct according to the size but comparing byte per byte with the original file sometimes gives differences at the same positions.

This part of the differences I couldn't reproduce in a way that I could share on the internet because the original file is a magnetic resonance image subject to confidentiality.

But fortunately I was able to reproduce the bug on input size. I've attached a script that illustrates the problem and here is the link for the file that I've used for the following sample output:

Sorry about the size, but I couldn't produce a smaller file.

<code>
[manzo@WALL-A gz_debug]$ ruby -v
ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-linux]
[manzo@WALL-A gz_debug]$ ruby test1.rb sample.gz 
Size of read: 45102570
Size of each_byte: 4668
Size of readbyte: 45158752
</code>

I hope I'm right on this report and thank you a lot for your time!
