src: fix invalid windowBits=8 gzip segfault
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
`{ windowBits: 8 }` is legal for deflate streams but not gzip streams.
Fix a nullptr dereference when formatting the error message.

Bug introduced in commit c34eae5 ("zlib: refactor zlib internals")
from September 2018.
