Zcat seems to be broken - running:
./gzip -c /bin/bash | ./gunzip -c > bash.out && cmp /bin/bash bash.out && echo OK
produces CRC errors and an output file that is massively too big.
I think the problem is in the routine that writes the output bytes - very simple patch attached that seems to fix the problem.
