Hi ,

I have made the changes in fix , I think changing existing behavior in deflate() will need a spec change. 
With this fix , I'm closing deflater on exception scenarios in finish method of GZipOutputStream and close method of DeflaterOutputStream. Even though the document for finsih/close methods does not clearly specifies if the deflater will be closed or not , the current behaviour of these methods does close the deflater whenever finish/close are called.  \

Thanks,
Ravi
