bzr doesn't directly, but the gzip format does, and bzr uses gzipped files in
places.

So presumably this error is being raised by Python's gzip or zlib modules, and
it (zlib.error) should probably be caught by check, and reported more helpfully
for the user, e.g. "gzipped file .bzr/x/y/z is corrupted: CRC check failed
3753648892 2779940560".
