Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how z_stream::zalloc and z_stream::zfree are declared and exposed by this crate, then compare their ABI with zlib's expected nullable fields. Done means these fields can be set to None or null without an ABI break, with relevant validation covering the behavior.
