A compressed stream may end with an empty packet. In this case decompression finishes before reading the empty packet and the remaining stream packet causes a failure in reading the following data. This commit makes sure to consume such extra data, avoiding a failure when decompression the data. This corner case was reproducible easily with a data length of 16kB, and existed since e94dd6a. A cheap regression test is added to cover this case based on a random, incompressible string. The first attempt of this patch has allowed to find an older failure within the compression logic of pgcrypto, fixed by b9b6105. This involved SLES 15 with z390 where a custom flavor of libz gets used. Bonus thanks to Mark Wong for providing access to the specific environment.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
