Nice work!

    >>> import zlib
    >>> s = open("uncompressable_block").read()
    >>> t = zlib.compress(s, 9)
    >>> s2 = zlib.decompress(t)
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
    zlib.error: Error -3 while decompressing data: invalid distances set

Unfortunately I deleted the uncompressable block becaue of NDA reasons. And I get the reply from authors, see it in comments to the post.

Okay, I no longer have a copy of the data. I removed the file I downloaded and it's not on my backups.
