gzip bug

[David L. Morgan]

Hi All,

	I have uncovered a bug in the version of gzip currently shipping with
cygwin (1.3.5-2).  I have a binary file that was compressed with gzip 1.3.3
from around 820MB to around 260MB.  If I gunzip the file using the default
invocation:

gunzip file.gz

... everything works fine.  If I use the stdout invocation:

gunzip -c file.gz > file

... the resulting file differs from the original.


Gunzip does not report any errors.  A cursory Google search does not yield any
relevant bug reports or resolutions.

This is on an x86 system running Cygwin 1.5.21-1

Regards,

David Morgan
