Can you capture the temporary file?

I can't tell from this how the functions in gzip.c are used.  What is there is just a trivial wrapper on the gzdopen, gzread, and gzclose functions.  I don't think that there's a change to inflate that would affect the gzip_decode_buffer function.  When you have the problem, I don't know if the gz* wrapper functions are being used, or if the gzip_decode_buffer function is being used.
