Thanks for reporting that.  Well, I guess it's time to sweep gzexe for
more problems, since this one was just the tip of the iceberg.  So I did
that and installed the following.  Can you please give it a try?

That seems to work fine here:

# ls -l ls
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 256425 2006-12-02 00:29 ls
# gzexe ./ls
./ls:    57.1%
# ls -l ls
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 110856 2006-12-02 00:29 ls
# gzexe -d ./ls
# ls -l ls
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 256425 2006-12-02 00:29 ls

Thanks very much,

Matt.
