Great, thanks.

+                       errmsg = fallback;

This "maxlen" business and the fallback error message are strange.  We
have roughly equivalent code in pg_basebackup.c, which has been working
since 2011 (commit 048d148fe631), and it looks like this:

#ifdef HAVE_LIBZ
static const char *
get_gz_error(gzFile gzf)
{
        int                     errnum;
        const char *errmsg;

        errmsg = gzerror(gzf, &errnum);
        if (errnum == Z_ERRNO)
                return strerror(errno);
        else
                return errmsg;
}
#endif

Perhaps you can drop the memchr/fallback tricks and adopt the
pg_basebackup coding?  Or is there a specific reason to have the memchr
check?
