Subject: zlib large files problem

I am trying to decompress a 80MB file (decompresses to 300MB), but I
keep getting a buffer error.  I thought I had a workaround using
chunks, but it fails with 20M left to go.  Any help or suggestions are
greatly appreciated.

in `read': buffer error (Zlib::BufError)


class Zlib::GzipReader
  def each_chunk(chunk_size=1024)
    yield read(chunk_size) until eof
  end
end

gz = Zlib::GzipReader.open(zip_file)

File.open( non_zip_file, 'wb' ) do |f|
  gz.each_chunk {|chunk| f.write(chunk)}
end
