Are there any tests that actually use the uid/gid of the current user? Compress will no read them by itself, so the only place things could fail was if we used native tar to create an archive. Is there such a test? If so we could try to adapt the test in question. > Should the bigNumberMode depend on the OS/user-id ? For tests, maybe. But I wouldn't recommend doing so in general as the resulting archive may not be readable by certain archivers. IMHO this should always be an explicit user decision.
