jbsdiff seems to write one extra zero byte for every byte in the target binary to the compressed stream. While these are mostly compressed away, it will still make the patches slightly smaller and the patching slightly faster to not write them. This should make jbsdiff's patches more similar to those generated by bsdiff. However, even after this change, both library seem to generate slighly different patch files.

jbsdiff seems to write one extra zero byte for every byte in the
target binary to the compressed stream. While these are mostly
compressed away (and not consumed by bspatch or jbsdiff patch),
it will still make the patches slightly smaller and the patching
slightly faster to not write them.
This should make jbsdiff's patches more similar to those generated
by bsdiff. However, even after this change, both library seem
to generate slighly different patch files.
