Description:
------------
gzinflate() try to allocate all memory with truncated $data:

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1074003968) (tried to allocate 
2147450880 bytes) in Command line code on line 1

Zlib version: 1.2.3.3

Reproduce code:
---------------
/tmp/php-5.2.4$ ./configure --disable-all --enable-cli --with-zlib && make -j4
/tmp/php-5.2.4$ sapi/cli/php -d memory_limit=-1 -r '$data = gzdeflate(file_get_contents("/tmp/yuicompressor-1.0.zip"), 9); echo "Compressed length: " . strlen($data) . "\n"; gzinflate($data); $data = substr($data, 0, 65535); echo "Truncated length: " . strlen($data) . "\n"; gzinflate($data);'

Expected result:
----------------
gzinflate() should return FALSE, without eating all memory

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 1074003968) (tried to allocate 
2147450880 bytes) in Command line code on line 1

Example code in a more readable format:

<?php
ini_set('memory_limit', -1);

// compressing a ~1.6MB file with gzdeflate()
$data = 
gzdeflate(file_get_contents("/home/noch/yuicompressor-1.0.zip"), 9);

echo "Compressed length: " . strlen($data) . "\n";

// gzinflate() works with original $data
gzinflate($data);

// Truncating compressed $data
$data = substr($data, 0, 65535);

echo "Truncated length: " . strlen($data) . "\n";

// Bug is here:
gzinflate($data);

Can you please provide a URL to the file with corrupted data.

It works with any compressed data if you truncate it.

The yuicompressor-1.0.zip file used for this example can be found
