This issue was fixed in 1.9 r28080 via this patch: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/repositories/diff/ruby-19?rev=28080

But the issue also exists in 1.8 branch, so the same patch should be backported. To replicate:

 unless File.exists?("test.gz")
   File.open("test","w"){|f| f.write "helloworld "*1024 }
   `gzip test`
 end
 
 require 'zlib'
 
 class Zlib::GzipReader
   class 

$ ruby simple.rb
simple.rb:13:in initialize': not in gzip format (Zlib::GzipFile::Error) from simple.rb:13:in new_orig'
from simple.rb:13:in new' from simple.rb:21:in parse_gzip'
from simple.rb:25
from simple.rb:24:in `times'
from simple.rb:24
=end
