[~bmoloden] The fix for JDK-8008759 went into 7u80-b05. Could you please check that this issue is gone, so that it can be closed as a duplicate of JDK-8008759?

JDK-8008759 was backported to 7u. The error message was improved in JDK-8068338

It would be good to back-port JDK-8008759 to 7uX and see if this issue still duplicates.

One possible cause of the failure might be wrong version of zlib installed on the host. InternalException might have been thrown, if deflateInit2() had returned Z_VERSION_ERROR. http://tvp129231.uk.oracle.com:8080/source/xref/jdk7u-dev/jdk/src/share/native/java/util/zip/Deflater.c#72 I suppose, we may have a better message created in that case, given how many noise it causes.
