The constructor of `java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream` instantiates an `Inflater` for its internal use. After instantiating the `Inflater`, the `GZIPInputStream` constructor before returning from the constructor, can run into either a `IllegalArgumentException` (because the `size` is `<=0`) or an `IOException` when trying to read a GZIP header from the underlying `InputStream`. In either of these cases, the `Inflater` that the `GZIPInputStream` created internally will end up leaking and the caller has no way to `end()` that `Inflater` or even knowledge of that `Inflater`.

Furthermore, to prevent instantiation of an `Inflater`, the `GZIPInputStream` constructor before calling `super(...)` will now check the `InputStream` to be non-null and `size` to be `>0`, both of which were being done by the `super` constructor.
