I did some experiments and I think the zip handling may be missing
some cases and _we_ might be giving zlib wrong part of file to
decompress.  After all compression_method IS set to DEFLATED which
is exactly what zlib is supposed to decompress.  I think the problem
is on our side.

I'll take a look at this when I get up.
