The original change replaced InputStream.available() with explicit InputStream.read() calls to detect concatenated GZIP streams, but this caused EOFException construction in the common case of single GZIP streams.

The fix introduces an alternate code path in readHeader() that avoids EOFException generation when the stream has reached EOF, restoring performance to JDK 22 levels while maintaining the functional improvements from JDK-7036144.
