Thanks, but "needs a buffer output buffer" made me scratch my head
somewhat.

  ... Z_BUF_ERROR if no progress is possible or if there was not enough
  room in the output buffer when Z_FINISH is used. Note that Z_BUF_ERROR
  is not fatal, and inflate() can be called again with more input and more
  output space to continue decompressing.
