[issue25626] Gzip fails for file over 2**32 bytes

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

3.4 shouldn’t be affected by the gzip regression. In 3.4 the gzip module does not set max_length to limit the decompression size.

In 3.4 the underlying zlib module will also raise OverflowError if max_lenth=2**32, and my patch could be applied, but I don’t think it is worth it at this stage.
