#184: Decompression buffers are too small

 This thread on the libssh2-devel mailing list points out that there is an
 issue with downloading files using a channel for which server-to-client
 compression has been negotiated:

   http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2010-08/0127.shtml

 To address this, I have attached a patch which increases the size of the
 buffers used in src/comp.c, for decompressing data. It also adds debug
 logging of a zlib return code other than Z_OK, for easier analysis/triage
 for future compression issues.
