> 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.
