Summary: Discovered typo in zlib test.

Initial Comment:
In test_zlib.py (while chasing what appears to be a
documentation problem), I found a flaw in the code
that tests max_length limitted output from a 
decompression object test.

Starting at line 100, the existing code is:
...
bufs.append(deco.flush())
decomp2 = ''.join(buf)
if decomp2 != buf:
    print "max_length decompressobj failed"
else:
    print "max_length decompressobj succeeded"
...

This test will always succeed (''.join(str) == str).

What seems obviously meant is:
...
bufs.append(deco.flush())
decomp2 = ''.join(bufs)
if decomp2 != buf:
    print "max_length decompressobj failed"
else:
    print "max_length decompressobj succeeded"
...
