I think it's inherent in the zlib API. I haven't used all of the

Wouldn't using a uint for buffer size give a size limit of greater than
4GB? Seems like an int is in the mix somewhere.
You meant 2GB, I think.
And you are right. I looked into it a bit, this has nothing to do
(superficially) with zlib, it has to do with std.zip:

Really, i should be size_t in all places, I can't see why it should ever
be int.
Please file an issue.
