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.

How was the file tzlib-clean.txt generated? Are you sure it contains deflate-compressed data?
