Thanks for that old bug report. We fixed it soon after you reported it,
here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gzip.git/commit/?id=63aa2268a5abfed0116d04bbe3952e4a753af91d
but didn't make the connection between the fix and the bug report. So
I'll close the bug report now.
By the way, I just now tried bleeding-edge gzip on macOS 12.1 (Apple M1)
and found one portability glitch, which I fixed by installing the
attached into gzip.From 2532f0a0d464fa1d0845a74789cb6859e4086021 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
