ISSUES

1. [New issue] zlib fails to compress an empty string
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/31976
User slide_o_mix has proposed the issue:

"Error in IronPython:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\acearl\Desktop\test.py", line 11, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\acearl\Code\IronLanguagesMain\External.LCA_RESTRICTED\Languages
\IronPython\27\Lib\zipfile.py", line 1094, in writestr
zlib.error: Error -3 while compressing: buffer error

CPython does not output an error and successfully creates the zip file.

Code to reproduce:

import sys
import zipimport, time
from zipfile import *

z = ZipFile('foo.zip', 'w')
zinfo = ZipInfo('foo.py', time.localtime())
zinfo.compress_type = ZIP_DEFLATED
z.writestr(zinfo, '')"-----------------
