Can you try gzip 1.4 instead? It could well fix your bug. Here's the source: you should be able to type "configure; make install" to build and install it, in the usual way. ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.4.tar.gz > Me too , when I try interactive, it is working fine, but when done by a > background process > Somethimes it works, sometimes it is not working. Can you use the "truss" command to see which system calls it executes when it is not working? You may need to truss the entire background process and its descendants with "truss -f". > IS gzip sensible to environnement variable and can break a pipe if some > Env varibale are set ? It is sensitive to a few environment variables: the locale environment variables (LC_ALL, etc.). Also, to POSIXLY_CORRECT. It's unlikely this would affect pipe breaking, but it's conceivable. "truss" will help explain this.
