While it is not clear from the Buffer documentation, the Reader *interface* documentation (which Buffer.Read implements implicitly) does state "up to len(p) bytes." You are ignoring how many bytes it read and assuming that the one read is reading the whole file. I am not sure that this is guaranteed with Buffer.Read.
I would suggest you try to adhere to the Reader interface's documented behavior, and continue to call Read until you get EOF, and process the n returned bytes each time. Doing this would also make it easier to then move a step further and drop your buffer size to something sensible, instead of attempting to read the entire 2.5G file into memory before compressing.
