Re: gzip issue on solaris10

[Paul Eggert]

I can't reproduce the problem on my Solaris 10 host (sparc), using
Sun's gzip.  Here's how I tried to reproduce it.  Perhaps you could
try the same thing, and see if you get similar results?  The examples
below use only files that are supplied with Solaris 10, in some package
or another.

$ gzip -d </usr/dt/config/images/styleModern-backdrop-1280.pm.gz >pipe&
[1] 5883
$ cat pipe >cat.out
[1]+  Done                    gzip -d 
</usr/dt/config/images/styleModern-backdrop-1280.pm.gz >pipe
$ gzip -d </usr/dt/config/images/styleModern-backdrop-1280.pm.gz >pipe1.out
$ cmp cat.out pipe1.out
$ type gzip
gzip is hashed (/usr/bin/gzip)
$ gzip --version
gzip 1.3.5
