I tend to agree, especially as it also makes the intention of the code
clearer.

The check at the start of available() guards the logic beyond (which
uses a value from the inflater object, which would not be valid if the
stream has been closed()).

Because of this, I think it would be clearer to synchronize the
available() method too.

As you say, it is extremely likely that, in practice, this
synchronization will never be contended, and so won't impact performance
significantly (in modern VMs).

Please find below an updated changeset with these modifications,

Thanks for your advice in this,
Neil
