After upgrading my system this morning, I'm getting an error running
gunzip when it reads from stdin.
Steps to reproduce:
wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gmp/gmp-4.2.1.tar.gz
gunzip < gmp-4.2.1.tar.gz >/dev/null
This sequence yields the following errors:
gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
gunzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error
Interestingly,
gunzip gmp-4.2.1.tar.gz
works.
I've narrowed this down a little bit. It only happens under zsh;
under bash, the recipe works without error. Thinkging that for some
reason, stdin was being opened in a text mode, I tried setting
CYGWIN=binmode before starting zsh, but that had no effect on this
problem.
I believe the upgrade that broke this was the most recent
gettext/libintl upgrade. In order to link against the most recent
libintl, I have rebuilt zsh from source (both from the cygwin source
tarball and also from the latest zsh sources in CVS), but still the
problem persists.
I would appreciate any help that can be offered.
Thanks,
Vin
