[New-bugs-announce] [issue5210] zlib does not indicate end of compressed stream properly

New submission from Travis Hassloch <travis at giganews.com>:

Underlying zlib can determine when it has hit the end of a compressed
stream without reading past the end.  Python zlib implementation requires
that one read past the end before it signals the end by putting data in
Decompress.unused_data.  This complicates interfacing with mixed
compressed/uncompressed streams.
