What this reveals is that the receiver is getting an inflate error,
sending the message to the generator, exiting, and then the generator
hangs reading the message pipe.  Why it does not get a EOF as it
should, I have no idea, but that seems like an OS issue.

Since the reason for things falling apart is that there was an error
in the compress code, you should be able to avoid the hang (for now)
by avoiding the -z option.

If you discover anything about why that pipe read doesn't return an
EOF, let me know.  (You may want to ask some debian folks about that.)
