gzip-1.7-1 reports a write error if result of -l is redirected:
$ uname -srvm
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW 2.5.0(0.297/5/3) 2016-04-11 09:55 i686
$ cygcheck -f /bin/gzip
gzip-1.7-1
$ echo text | gzip > text.gz
$ gzip -l text.gz
compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name
25 5 -40.0% text
$ gzip -l text.gz | cat
gzip: write error: Bad file descriptor
$ gzip -l text.gz > out
gzip: write error: Bad file descriptor
This breaks (at least) the zforce script.
gzip -c is not affected.
