it might be a permission issue on the gzip program .. are you running this
program yourself from the command-line ? .. or is it being run via CGI or

  In New York, a fine of $25 can be levied for flirting. This old law
  specifically prohibits men from turning around on any city street and
  looking "at a woman in that way." A second conviction for a crime of
  this magnitude calls for the violating male to be forced to wear a
  "pair of horse-blinders" wherever and whenever he goes outside for a
  stroll. - http://dumblaws.com/
