Sometimes when I use std.zlib.uncompress(), I get a "buf error". Anyone know
what this is? the data I'm uncompressing was compressed with std.zlib.compress
at level 6.

I'd guess that the buffer isn't big enough for the uncompressed data. It 
does sound like a bug with std.zlib since this should be taken care of 
automatically.

First, you should make sure that you're using the latest version of DMD 
since there was a bug in std.zlib that was found and fixed recently. 
Your bug sounds similar to that bug. I think it generated a "buf error", 
too.

If you're using the latest version, it might be that the bug wasn't 
quite squashed. Post some test code and the rest of us can verify the 
bug and look for a fix.
