How reliable is python's parameterless zlib.decompress?

[JohnHudeski]

I decompressed a bunch of text files from Backbreaker and there are some strange artifacts like duplicated strings or fragmented.
Basically, it works 90% of the time and then fails catastrophically. I dont know if it is because of my call conventions

Code: Select all

bReader = open(f, "rb")  
outData = zlib.decompress(bReader.read(sz))

PS would it matter if I used a file larger than Compressed (AKA i added extra bits to the compressed data)

Zlib was not the problem
