[erlang-patches] fixed reading compressed binary terms from Java

[Henrik Nord]

Hi

I would like you to add a test for this. As there already are compress 
and decompress roundtrip tests,
the effort should be minimal for adding tests for this specific bug.

Also the commit message should conform to
(fix, not fixed etc..)

Thank you for the contribution!
