Milestone:  Boost 1.37.0              |   Component:  iostreams
  Version:  Boost 1.36.0              |    Severity:  Problem

--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 Found a string that compressing and than uncompressing using iostreams and
 zlib results in an exception being thrown by the uncompress operation.
 (The same code works fine for all other strings tried).
 Attaching a sample program + file containing the problematic string.

 Not sure if this helps - but take note that the resulting compressed
 buffer has the pretty unusual size of 20480, which might be a multiple of
 some constant. A number of different strings which compress to this size
 however didn't exhibit the same behavior.
