I did some playing with this. It takes a while because the file is so big. I don't really know what's going on, but I did find that deflate() is returning at line 493 of zlib/deflate.c just after a comment that says "this is not an error situation". So if I change like 285 of token.c to delete the "|| tx_strm.avail_in != 0" it all seems to work properly. I'm not sure if that's an OK thing to do or not, though. Somebody who knows something about zlib would have to look at it.
