Thanks for that bug report. I applied the following slightly-different patch, to avoid other GCC warnings about shadowed variables:
2007-11-25 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * gzip.c (handled_sig): Move out of install_signal_handlers, and move previous to all uses of SIGPIPE, to fix a bug encountered when porting to mingw32. Reported by Robert Millan in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2007-11/msg00007.html>.
