> The GzipCodec will NPE upon reset after finish when the native zlib codec is
> not loaded. When the native zlib is loaded the codec creates a
> CompressorOutputStream that doesn't have the problem, otherwise, the
> GZipCodec uses GZIPOutputStream which is extended to provide the resetState
> method. Since IBM JDK 6 SR9 FP2 including the current JDK 6 SR10,
> GZIPOutputStream#finish will release the underlying deflater, which causes
> NPE upon reset. This seems to be an IBM JDK quirk as Sun JDK and OpenJDK
> doesn't have this issue.
