Can you include the full error?  Also, what versions of zlib and
Compress::Zlib are you using?

How many files are in this directory?

BackupPC stores all the file attribute information for each directory
in a single file, and it needs to be able to decompress and fit that
information in memory.  However, it should only be at most a few 100
bytes per file, so one directory would have to have a huge number of
files for this to be a problem.

Another possibility is that some compressed file is corrupted and
it is causing uncompress to break.
