I partially followed your directions since I was offline last night and couldn't get to this e-mail. I ended up deleting the last snapshot file and was able to launch Instiki without any errors. I likely lost a few recent changes but the important thing is that I'm back up and running. I was afraid that I had lost a lot of work so thanks for helping out.
I've always wondered about how to backup or move my Instiki. Is it enough just to back up the most recent snapshot file from time to time? Are there other files that need to be backed up as well?
Thanks again for saving me!

I think there's a problem where the snapshot file, which is
essentially a zip file, is corrupted. I was never able to determine if
it was madeleine, ruby-zlib or zlib itself, as I never managed to
consistently repro this. The file was unopenable by zlib-based
decompression, but you should be able to open it in another zip
program like 7zip (www.7-zip.org).
Go to the storage directory and try to open the latest (highest
number) .snapshot file with it. it will have an annonymous content
file. you can extract this and rezip it (in a "gz" format) and then
use it as normal. Needless to say, backup everything before you try
:-)
If that doesn't work, try deleting the .command_log files and the
latest snapshot. You'll lose some recent information, but you'll be
able to get an older version of the data.
