Since gzip created the file, it's unlikely that the file size is the
issue. Most likely it's a hardware problem.
You can try "dd if=/dev/whatever of=/dev/null ibs=512", or perhaps use
a different input block size depending on your device.
Of course you'll need a large-file dd. Most dd's are these days. If
yours isn't, build and use the latest coreutils
<ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-5.3.0.tar.gz>.
