Hi,
I've seen that with large sized files (14G in this case) when I use the
"list" option I get wrong uncompressed size and the ratio, of course, is
wrong. I've tested it with versions 1.10 (last just compiled) and 1.5
(system version).
/ # ./gzip -l file.gz //
// compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name//
/
/ 4937209128 1654354046 -198.4% file/
The real uncompressed size is 14539255934.
