> > md5sum gnus.el.gz
> 985deaaec6a5845ac8d6bd9648957b50  gnus.el.gz

> Now after logging some code in $EMACS_REPO/src/decompress.c, it was
> learned that in the pigz specific case, `inflate()` was returning
> Z_BUF_ERROR(-5) which is an indicator for zstream's either `avail_in`
> or `avail_out` fields are 0.

> Observing the code in `$EMACS_REPO/src/decompress.c`

> only checks stream.avail_out and not stream.avail_in which also might
> have been set to 0. A special case here can be constructed where
> `avail_in` is 0, and the code keeps looping even though our input
> buffer is empty and thus causing a Z_BUF_ERROR. Placing a simple check
> for it fixes the bug in pigz's gz archives case and does not cause any
> issue with gzip archives.
