Corresponding changelog from gzip-1.3.12 reads:

"""
2006-12-20  Paul Eggert  <eggert at cs.ucla.edu>
        * inflate.c (huft_build): Fix regression that caused gzip to
        refuse to uncompress null input (all zero length codes).  Problem
        reported by Yiorgos Adamopoulos.  This regression was caused by
        the security patch installed 2006-11-20, which in turn came from
        Debian, which in turn apparently came from Thomas Biege of SuSe.
